Wells said the pope and the cardinals "listened graciously, evidenced from their questions and the discussion which followed."
In addition, she noted that she was impressed by the Vatican's ongoing synod on synodality, where for the first time ever, Francis extended the right to vote at the synod to the laity, including women, at last October's session. Among the topics discussed inside the synod's deliberations were questions about the ordination of women to the diaconate, as well as the priesthood.

Risk? Ha, good one, Anglican lady. If there’s one thing that Bergoglio has made clear in his 11 years of mayhem, it’s that he does whatever the hell he wants, critics be damned, consquences be damned, prudence be damned. He worries not in the least about conservative or orthodox Catholics crying foul at this antics. In fact, he appears to thrive on such blowback
Pope took ‘risk’

No he didn’t. He’ll get his azz kissed by virtually every media source, entertainer, and academic in the West. The only thing he has to worry about are orthodox Catholics and they are currently afflicted with a severe case of Ostrich Syndrome.
funny, just heard someone yesterday saying Paul VI “took a risk” by reconvening VII.
risk, indeed.
The risk comes after he dies.
1 Tim 3:1-15 is the apostle Paul giving the qualifications for Bishops & Deacons. Women are NOT considered.
Well, Mr. Bergolio hangs out with Muslim imams, too. There is a slightly better chance that the Anglican woman is a secret Christian than most Muslim imams. This is a step up, isn’t it?
As soon as women took over in the Anglican church, men fled. Christ chose male apostles for a reason.
What risk? They can’t impeach him.
Father Jo.
