The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/em><\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

The Catholic bishops in Germany continue to wrestle with the manner of dealing with those divorced and remarried. A large majority of them advocate that, in justified individual cases, Catholics in a second marriage be admitted to Eucharist and Reconciliation. A minority wishes to hold to the current regulations that the divorced and remarried certainly belong to the church and are part of the community, but generally cannot be admitted to the sacraments. The bishops are in agreement that pastoral accompaniment of faithful whose marriages failed and who have entered into a new relationship is to be intensified.<\/p>\n

These positions, first released in Bonn on Monday, are to be found in the considerations of the German Bishops\u2019 Conference titled \u201cTheologically Responsible and Pastorally Appropriate Ways of Accompanying the Divorced and Remarried.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
