Stetter-Karp Remains President of Central Committee of German Catholics - Irma Stetter-Karp Re-Elected to Lead German Catholic Reform Push
Irma Stetter-Karp has been re-elected as president of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK). Around 80% of delegates supported her, securing another term in the influential role. She has long advocated for sweeping reforms within the Catholic Church, including greater gender justice and modernised teachings on sexuality and conscience.
The ZdK, a powerful lay organisation, has been pushing for changes such as the inclusion of women in leadership roles and the ordination of married clergy. Stetter-Karp’s re-election signals strong backing for these reform efforts.
Stetter-Karp’s second term will focus on advancing gender equality and modernising church structures. Her leadership comes at a time when calls for reform are gaining momentum worldwide. The ZdK’s continued support strengthens her position in driving these changes forward.
