And it was even in the 1970s, when the >involved personssomething different< and finally to an issue that should be discussed pragmatically. Of course these developments overlaid each other, so in result we cannot draw a clear line of an historical correlation between the societal and church-internal developments. Relevant in this context are also the clerical public services law and the question of same-gender marriages.
