The American Abuse Victims Association (SNAP) is calling for the resignation of former Boston Archbishop Cardinal Bernard Law, 76, from all Vatican posts. Pope Benedict XVI. should retire the cardinal before his visit to the U.S. in April, according to a letter the association delivered to the Vatican nunciature in Washington. Will the pope respond?

Law's retention in eight Vatican congregations, and thus at the center of Catholic power, is salt on the still unhealed wounds of victims of sexual abuse by church employees, he said.Law forced to resign as Boston archbishop in 2002 for covering up for pedophile clergy and transferring them to other parishes. He was appointed in May 2004 by then-Pope John Paul II. As archpriest of the patriarchal basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore to Rome. The cardinal is a member of the Congregation for Bishops, Clergy, Religious and Education, among others. "Powerful role in bishop appointments" Law's high-ranking status, his great public presence and, above all, his "powerful role in the appointment of new bishops" evoked great pain among many of those affected at the time, stresses the victims' association. Benedict XVI. Should therefore insist that Law retire voluntarily after reaching canonical age limit of 75 years.A nationwide wave of revelations about sexual abuse by priests and church workers emanated from Boston in 2002.Several U.S. dioceses have been on the brink of insolvency due to lawsuits and compensation payments.Nationwide, some 12.000 victims sued. According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the total cost is in the billions of dollars.

She is known for her sometimes clear statements: former EKD Council Chairwoman Margot Kabmann. Now she has spoken out again and criticizes the dominance of men within the church.

Half a millennium after the start of the Reformation, a patriarchal spirit is still blowing through the Christian churches, and religions are dominated by men, said the Reformation ambassador of the Protestant Church in Germany this Saturday in Wittenberg.

"Men in huge robes still dominate the image of the church."

Qualities of both sexes needed

Male and female qualities are needed in the church, according to Kabmann.

"Only when men bake the cake for the church meeting and women leave the children with them for the afternoon has anything changed," the theologian said on the occasion of the Christian Women's Council's project presentation "Reformation is Everywhere – Women's Perspectives".

All baptized are priests, bishops and pope. Thus, he said, it is a sign of reformation that women are represented at all levels of church leadership.

However, not all Christian churches admit women to all ecclesiastical offices. "For many, this is and remains precisely the crucial question of gender justice and thus also of the equal dignity of women and men," Kabmann said.

Bishop Bode praises higher percentage of women in leadership positions

The Catholic Bishop of Osnabruck, Franz-Josef Bode, had recently pointed out the positive changes in the church because of women in leadership positions.

The number of diocesan pastoral office leaders is "a success in increasing the number of women in leadership positions," he said.

"I am pleased that at the federal level we now even have a 40 percent share of women in the leadership of a diocesan pastoral office." He hopes "that this will also encourage young women to take on responsibility and leadership roles in the church".

In contrast to the oven, the lid the top of the bread baking machine. Many devices have a viewing window, but there are also some machines that do not have this feature.

Inside the breadmaker you can see a mostly non-stick coating box-shaped baking pan. This is equipped with a non-stick coating so that the finished bread can be removed from the mold without much effort.

At the bottom there are one or two dough hook. These rotate after the start and thus ensure that all ingredients are well mixed and kneaded through.

most dough hooks leave a small but unsightly hole in the bread due to their design. This can be avoided by removing the dough hooks from the machine after the last kneading process with lightly floured hands.
