A Catholic bishop has sharply criticized a text produced by the German Church's "Synodal Way" forum on the role of women.
In an open letter published Sept. 2, Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer said that a draft text prepared by the forum on "Women and Offices," also known as Forum III, "lacks any theological level."
The bishop of Regensburg was referring to a document produced by a working group on the "Participation of women in leadership under the current conditions of canon law."
Voderholzer, a professor of dogmatics, expressed concern about the document's presentation of the establishment of the sacraments, reported CNA Deutsch, CNA's German-language news partner.
