FRANKFURT, Germany: Germany's Catholic Church has ended a landmark renewal project by agreeing a slew of reforms including blessing same-sex marriages and allowing female deacons, at the risk of angering the Vatican.
Bishops, priests, nuns and lay representatives of the Church gathered in Frankfurt from March 9-11 for the last assembly of Germany's "Synodal Path", a process launched in 2019 in response to the clerical sex abuse scandal.
