(Rome) In presenting the renewed women's supplement of Ossservatore Romano "Donne Chiesa Mondo" (Women Church World) all speakers appealed to Pope Francis, including Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin.

"The decisive factor was Pope Francis' statement, to increase the proportion of women in the newsroom," said Giovanni Maria Vian, editor of the "daily newspaper of the Pope".

"If we are ready now, then that's all to the merit of Pope Francis. He said: 'This is the hour of the laity', and women are all laity," said the feminist Luisa Muraro, author in the current issue of the women's supplement of the Osservatore Romano, which she had until recently maintained, would have been impossible.

Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin referred to the relationship between church and women, with a glance to Pope Francis: "I think that more is to be expected."

Papal Electors and Secretary of State?

Pope Francis said that women should be valued in the church. Cardinal Walter Kasper could imagine women as papal electors whether as lady cardinals or not, however, he will deny his statement the next day.

Now, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin says he could also imagine a woman as a successor in his office, in the position as a state secretary at the head of the Roman Curia.

The statement was made to cardinals and Vatican diplomats at an event for the promotion for the women's supplement of the Osservatore Romano "Donne Chiesa Mondo" (women church world) last Tuesday, see the report exclusive and violent? Monotheism in the crossfire of the "Osservatore Romano").

The Cardinal Secretary of State said: "A woman could be Secretary, with regard to the role and function of the Secretary of State; of course with no connection ti the sacraments or the priesthood."

Parolin further: " In any case, I repeat, we will continue the previously chosen path, and the Lord will tell us how far we can go"

The women's supplement changes not only the appearance, but also the orientation, said coordinator Lucetta Scaraffia. The general aim was amplified to reproduce the perspective of women. The women's supplement has a circulation of nearly 20,000 copies and in different languages. "Perhaps we will soon appear also in German," said Scaraffia.

Several praised the "use" of the new Prefect of the Vatican Secretariat Communications, insisted Msgr. Dario Edoardo Viganò. He was present but did not sit on the podium, but stood silently at the back of the hall. He is said to have other plans for the entire Osservatore Romano, than the current editors.

Potential candidates?

“Cardinal Parolin: “My Successor Could Be a Woman””

In the Episcopalian church, right?!?

Gosh, why are so many Catholics no longer coming to church — Maybe we should DOUBLE DOWN on more stupid ideas, yeah, that’s the ticket.

[MUDDOG]

It’s a race between feminism or Islam taking over the Vatican.

Why is this a thing? Hire the best people... period. Let the rest of the world fall to political correctness and insanity.

[Salvation]

Won’t happen.

He's talking about as Vatican Secretary of State. It's a diplomatic office, not a priestly one, though the idea of a non-prelate holding it is still pretty bizarre.

That's ver-r-r-ry interesting. That's Kim Davis' friend Vigano, whom the lefties claim was "booted" from his U.S. Nunciature perch at age 75 (the universal hand-in-your-resignation age)--- like this is a disgrace --- and yet was put by Pope Francis in the sensitive position of Communications Prefect.

If I'm not mistaken that makes him "boss" of even the shifty, split-tongued Federico Lombardi.

Interesting to see who that will play out!
