Und wenn nicht?

The article titled "And if not?" deals with the question of how people can continue to live in the Catholic Church if their hopes for changes regarding the sacramental diaconate of women are disappointed. The author emphasizes that the positions of the Vatican are clear and that women are not allowed to be ordained. He raises the question of whether those affected can remain in the Catholic community or whether an understanding of vocation should be developed that allows for conversion to other Christian churches. The article appeared in the magazine "Diakonia" in August 2024. [Extracted from the article]
