Eldorado Posted October 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2018 They want to vote in major policy meetings. They want Pope Francis to deliver on his promise to put more women in senior positions in the Holy See’s administration. And some of them say they want to be priests. “Knock knock! Who’s there? More than half the Church!” several dozen Catholic women chanted outside the Vatican on Oct. 3, the first day of this year’s synod of bishops from around the world. The role of women in the Church has been a recurring theme at the month-long meeting, which brings together some 300 bishops, priests, nuns and lay participants. Only about 35 are women.

Orphalesion Posted October 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yes there should be women bishops and female cardinals and well, yes there should be female popes. Not only because it's the 21st century and such things should simply exist by now, but well...not only did women play a crucial role in the survival and spread of early Christianity and in mythology were the fist to discover the empty grave and hear the revelation of Christ's resurrection, but Catholicism venerates Mary as the Queen of Heaven So what? We can have a pseudo-goddess holding power and authority in heaven and have women act as the first people to spread the word about Resurrection, but allowing women into actual positions of power is, somehow, a big no-no? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
