Sr. Nathalie Becquart told The New York Times that the role of women in the Church was changing under Pope Francis.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) – A prominent female member of the Vatican Curia, Sister Nathalie Becquart, has declared that Pope Francis intends to “disconnect participation in the leadership of the church from ordination” in the Synod on Synodality.

Sr. Becquart – appointed in February 2021 as the Vatican’s first female member of the Roman Curia with synodal voting rights, and under-secretary of the Synod of Bishops, the body which is organizing the current Synod on Synodality – made the revelation in an interview conducted by The New York Times as part of the publication’s “Women and Leadership special report.”

Asked about the “obstacles” to female ordination in the Catholic Church, Becquart replied:

The vision of Pope Francis, through this synod, is to get rid of a clerical church and move to a synodal church — to disconnect participation in the leadership of the church from ordination. We can say that the way now opening up is to listen to all different views; for instance, not everyone thinks ordination of women is a good path.

“covid shots”

Such a lie that women haven’t exercised “leadership” in the Church from its beginning. Mary and the Magdalene probably led John to the Cross though Mary in sappy art was portrayed as a wilting violet.

St. Catherine of Siena, St. Joan of Arc, St. Teresa of Avila, countless women have shown true “leadership”, not the phony leadership of rebellion against Church teaching, earth worship, women’s ordination, Pro-Abortionism, exotic prayer techniques, lesbianism, and on and on.
