According to VidaNuevaDigital.com (December 17), the report contains only a few pages and was agreed on unanimously.
The Commission consisted of twelve theologians and started its work in August 2016. It did not have the task to answer the question whether there should be female deacons but to studied “this reality” in the first centuries of the Church.
One anonymous member of the commission told VidaNuevaDigital.com that there are "few historical witnesses and they did not give us the information we would have wished for."
In the first century "female deacons" were [obviously] not ordained ministers but some kind of charity workers.
