In his homily at New Year\u2019s Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Munich, Marx said the church must, \u201cin light of the failure\u201d surrounding the clergy sex abuse crisis, modify tradition in response to changing modern times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the hour has come to deeply commit ourselves to open the way of the church to renewal and reform,\u201d Marx said, according to a text of the homily posted on the archdiocesan website. \u201cEvolution in society and historical demands have made tasks and urgent need for renewal clear to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cardinal, who is president of the German bishops\u2019 conference, said that current measures to address sex abuse are not enough without adapting church teachings. \u201cYes, matters are about development and improvement and prevention and independent reviews \u2014 but more is also demanded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am certain that the great renewal impulse of the Second Vatican Council is not being truly led forward and understood in its depth. We must further work on that,\u201d he said. \u201cFurther adaptations of church teachings are required.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cardinal\u2019s statements coincide with plans to openly debate the issue of celibacy at the German bishops\u2019 permanent council meeting in the spring. The bishops have said the workshop during the meeting is a direct response to the abuse crisis.<\/p>\n

Despite the Vatican\u2019s call for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops not to vote in November on several proposals for responding to the sexual abuse crisis because of a lack of time given the Vatican to study the proposals and potential conflicts with church law, the German bishops plan to host numerous ecclesiastical and secular professionals from various disciplines to analyze celibacy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
