The Synod issued two new reports this week that include promoting “gender equality” across all positions within the Catholic Church.
On September 8, the General Secretariat of the Synod published two final reports proposing changes to relations between bishops, consecrated religious, ecclesial associations and the Holy See, including a recommendation that diocesan faithful participate in preparing the reports bishops submit before their official visits to Rome.
The Study Group 6 report emphasizes the implementation of “gender equality” and “co-responsibility” in workplaces and the participation of consecrated laywomen even in the election of bishops and chaplains. This increasingly horizontal concept stands in opposition to the Church’s vertical and hierarchical structure that is of divine right.
The reports were presented as proposals rather than decisions already approved by the Pope. A statement from the General Secretariat said that Pope Leo XIV directed their publication so that the fruits of the study groups’ reflection and discernment could be shared with the entire Church. The proposals will now have to be translated into operational measures by the competent Vatican dicasteries and the General Secretariat of the Synod before being submitted to the Pope.

NO! The Clancy trial shows us the danger of women in power.
Either women are smart, independent, competent people.
Or they are hysterical creatures victimized by their hormones.
One or the other. It cannot be both.
