Pope Wants More Women in Church Leadership Positions but Rejects Female Priests (Christian Post)
Pope Francis has stated that while he supports having more women in positions of authority within the Roman Catholic Church, he does not support allowing women to become priests.
The head of the one billion-strong Church was interviewed by Reuters earlier this week on a host of issues. When asked about female ordination, Francis responded that there is “no Church without women,” but that he affirms church tradition on ordination rules.
