He Papa Francisco This Thursday he assured that “One of the greatest sins” was the “masculinization of the church” and proposed to “demasculinize” it, starting with theology and proposing to give more space to more women theologians in audiences with members of the International Theological Commission..
The pope, recovering from a flu that caused pneumonia, did not read a prepared speech because his voice was weak, but improvised some words.
– Francisco commented, voicing the text he had prepared.
Forgive me, I said too much and it didn’t do me any good. It’s better for me not to read with this. I’ll deliver it to you.
“If we do not know how to understand what women’s theology is, we will never be able to understand what the Church is,” Francis told participants and called for more space for women theologians.
After a small presence of women at the event, Dad commented on the situation.
There is something I don’t like about you, and forgive me for being sincere. One, two, three, four women: poor women! They are alone! Oh, sorry, five. We must move forward on this issue! Women have a different capacity for theological reflection than men.
And he announced that at the next meeting of the Council of Cardinals they would reflect “on the women’s dimension of the church” because “this is not solved by providing more ministries to women, that is another matter.” It is resolved in a mystical, royal way.”
Francis was referring to a request that arose at the Synod held in October for new ministries for women, which until now have been reserved only for men but, according to the pope, should go beyond that.
