A report concluding Pope Francis’s month-long synod on Synodality has been published by the Vatican.
It follows a meeting of the 16th Synod of Bishops this month, which was held after the Pope called for a global conversation among Catholics in 2021, about their church.
For the first time in a Synod of Bishops, laypeople – including women – took part in the vote on the final document. …
…The Women’s Ordination Conference – which is seeking equality for women in the Roman Catholic Church – has expressed dismay “by the failure of the synod to take seriously the overwhelming calls to open all ordained ministries to women”.
