Unlike in the Anglican Church, the Swiss Cardinal Kurt Koch does not fear a split among Catholic bishops over the question of women’s ordination. “But even in the Catholic Church there are heterogeneous ideas and demands on this,” said Koch in an interview with the ” Tagespost ” newspaper (Thursday). “There are quite a few bishops in Germany, Switzerland and other countries who are firmly calling for the ordination of women and who are making the future viability of the Catholic Church dependent on it.” There are major differences within the Anglican Church regarding the ordination of women as priests and bishops . The blessing of homosexual couples has also recently caused discontent, particularly among Anglicans in Africa.
