A crucial connection was missed at Amazon synod

In the final days of the Amazon synod, there was a small protest in front of the Castel Sant’Angelo. Seven members of Women’s Ordination Worldwide (WOW) held a banner the read: “Empowered women will save the church; empowered women will save the earth.”
I, of course, know these women and their Roman witnesses well. I have walked in protest with them along the Via della Conciliazione and, last year, captured their clash with the Roman police when they stood outside St. Peter’s Square boldly demanding that women have a vote at the synod.
