Women Deserve More Top-Level Positions In The Vatican – Pope Francis

Pope Francis has come out to say that he wants to give women more top-level positions in the Vatican.

He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, for the first time ever, he intends to name women for a previously all-male Vatican committee that helps him select the bishops for the world.

He added that gradually, more opportunities will come for women in the nearest future and things will be more equal.

His words, “I am open to giving (women) an opportunity,”

“Two women will be appointed for the first time in the committee to elect bishops in the Congregation for Bishops,”

“This way, things are opening up a bit.”

WOW.
