Bishop Christian Würtz, who gave his support to re-examining the possibility of women priests and the changing of the Church’s teaching on homosexuality, has been appointed as the new Bishop of Eichstätt.
During the German Synodal Way, Bishop Würtz voted in favour of both the Magisterial Reassessment of Homosexuality and the Women in Ministries and Offices in the Church documents.
The second document stated that “in the service of evangelisation, it is a matter of allowing women to participate appropriately in the proclamation, in the sacramental representation of Christ and in the building up of the Church.
