ROME – As the Vatican’s meeting on the Amazon draws to a close this week, one group is using the occasion to seek new roles for women in leadership, hosting a prayer vigil on Tuesday in support of women’s ordination to the priesthood and the diaconate.
“Without women there would be no Catholic Church in the Amazon region,” said Miriam Duignan, a spokeswoman for Women’s Ordination Worldwide (WOW), the organizing umbrella group that organized the event.
