Pope Francis Describes Not Ordaining Women Priests as ''A Theological Problem"
On the question of women in the church, Pope Francis insisted that ordained ministry is open only to men but that the church has a feminine, Marian dimension that is even more important. But, he said, administrative roles do not belong to either theological category, and the church should appoint more women to those offices.

The problem with this is that “administrative positions” are not really part of the Marian dimension of the Church. They support what he calls the “Petrine” dimension (it’s interesting he uses this term; sounds to me like he is saying that all clergy are just extensions of the Petrine ministry).
