Zulehner: Church needs radical reforms for the future!
In a explosive interview, the Viennese pastoral theologian Prof. Paul Zulehner once again called for the urgently needed reforms in the Catholic Church. He describes the current situation as a time when the church take care of itself more than the world. Zlehner criticizes the slow implementation of existing reform plans since the second Vatican Council and sees a danger to the future viability of the Church. As Kathpress , the Catholic Church must fundamentally re-establish and transfer more decision-making authorities and responsibility.women's ordination and decentralization
ZULEHNER emphasizes that the discussion about women's north must be carried out fairly. Despite the signs of an opening, the question of receipt of women to church offices remains open, which, according to Zlehner's opinion, requires a council. "The question of the women's diaconate has not been completed," he said. In a similar way, he calls for a decentralization of the church to take into account the heterogeneity of the different cultures and regions, as in an article by katholisch.at .
In another point, Zulehner criticizes the fixation of the church on internal issues, while secular crises such as the war in Ukraine and the climate crisis remain. He proposes an alliance with other Christian churches and religions to give hope together in difficult times. In the context of the current challenges, Zulehner encourages the Church to take care of humanity again instead of being lost in internal debates.
