Pope Francis' meeting on the future of the Catholic Church concludes with a call for greater inclusion of women in church governance and research on allowing women to be deacons. However, no major changes are expected on hot-button doctrinal issues such as the church's views on homosexuality.
Pope Francis’ gathering of Catholic bishops and laypeople has concluded that it is “urgent” to guarantee fuller participation of women in church governance, and called for research on allowing women to be deacons to be released within a year.
Progressives have hoped the gathering would send a message that the church would be more welcoming of LGBTQ+ people and offer women more leadership roles in a hierarchy where they are barred from ordination. Francis called the synod as part of his overall reform efforts to make the church a more welcoming place.
“Though some seem to think it is possible to talk about co-responsibility in mission without addressing the elephant in the room, the fundamental equality of women and their access to all ministries of the church is a question that will persist until it is attended to with fierce attention to the Gospel,” said a statement this week from Women’s Ordination Conference, which has been staging events, marches and protests in Rome all month.
In an interview published on Saturday in the National Catholic Register, Cardinal Mueller outlined a scathing critique of the meeting, saying it was a manipulated, theologically light gathering claiming to be the work of the Holy Spirit, but really aiming to undo church teaching.“All is being turned around so that now we must be open to homosexuality and the ordination of women.
