Pope Francis has written the preface to the book “Women and Ministries in the Synodal Church,” authored by three theologians and two cardinals who participated in the meeting of the Council of Cardinals, C9, this past February at the Vatican. Pope Francis has written the preface to the book “Women and Ministries in the Synodal Church,” authored by three theologians and two cardinals who participated in the meeting of the Council of Cardinals, C9, this past February at the Vatican.
In the text, the Holy Father laments that"the drama of abuse has forced us to open our eyes to the plague of clericalism, which does not only concern ordained ministers, but also a distorted way of exercising power within the Church into which everyone can fall: even lay people, even women." “The women who suffer the most are often the closest, the most available, prepared and ready to serve God and his Kingdom,” he noted.
In an interview with EWTN News, Salesian Sister Laura Pocher pointed out that “at this moment the debate on this issue is very hot and various scientific publications are appearing from the theological point of view that address this topic and the positions are very diverse." The second possibility mentioned by the Salesian theologian is “a form of diaconate without ordination, because it is important from an institutional point of view to recognize the service of women in the Church and thus give a form of ministries at the established age .”
When asked if the issue was discussed at C9 in February, Pocher said yes, although “it is not a possibility on the Synod agenda and the pope is not very favorable, because this issue of the ordination of women is a “bit like the elephant in the room.”
