Ida Raming

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ida Raming (* 1932 in Fürstenau ) is a German Roman Catholic theologian , educator, author and Free Catholic priestess.

Life

After finishing school, Raming studied Roman Catholic theology , philosophy and education at the University of Münster and at the University of Freiburg . She submitted a written petition to the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) for full equality for women in the diaconate and priesthood. In 1973 her dissertation was accepted in Münster at the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Münster. After completing her studies, Raming worked as a German and religion teacher at the Martinum Emsdetten grammar school. As an author, she wrote several books on the topic of "Position of Women in the Roman Catholic Church", in particular on the ordination of women .

Raming reports that her personal "experience of suffering" as a woman in the Roman Catholic Church was the mainspring for her to work for a change in church structures in order to give women access to ordination offices. In 1986 she was co-founder of the Maria Magdalena Association - Initiative for equal rights for women in the church .

In 2002 Raming was ordained a priestess by the Free Catholic Bishop Rómolo Antonio Braschi, along with other theologians - including Iris Müller , Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger , Adelinde Theresia Roitinger , Gisela Forster , Pia Brunner and Dagmar Braun Celeste . The Holy See declared this act invalid. Since Raming did not acknowledge the nullity of her ordination and showed “no signs of repentance and conversion” until the expiry of a set period of reflection, she was excommunicated on August 22, 2002 . She sees herself as a “thorn in the flesh of the Church”. Raming is unmarried and currently lives in Stuttgart.
