Francis: Women Will Choose Bishops

Francis wants to give women more "top-level" positions in the Holy See, he told Reuters.com (July 6).

Therefore, he plans to appoint women to the committee that selects bishops. So far, all members were cardinals, bishops or priests. They meet twice a month.

“Two women will be appointed for the first time in the committee to elect bishops in the Congregation for Bishops.” For Francis, this way “things are opening up a bit.”

Autocratic Francis is known for ignoring the suggestions of the committee.
