Pope Francis: “It's not a question of giving more functions to women in the Church ... it's a question of integrating the woman as the image of the Church into our thinking… and also of thinking of the Church with the categories of a woman.” Oh dear...

It's too late. Vatican 2 was the opportunity. The Church lost a generation of women and that lost generation is the one who would have brought the next generation to church regularly. Turning to Anglican Church now. I can see women standing at the alter.

I remain in support of Pope Francis but this is an attempt to suppress the voices of many capable women. There is a desperate need for women to ‘function’ in the church.

What do we expect from a celibate man who’s spent his life in an organization of celibate men?
