From today's Deutsche-Welle:
The Catholic Church must be prepared to confront and discuss taboo topics such as sexual morality and the celibacy of priests, the head of the church in Germany, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, said on Friday.

The Bishops' Conference was now "taking the initiative toward dialogue that involves itself as well as the diocese," he said.
"That includes ways to talk about awkward subjects in the area of sexuality, the vow of celibacy or the receiving of the sacrament by divorcees," he said...
