Pope Francis has approved a new three-year reform process for the Catholic Church, sending a strong signal he plans to continue in the post despite spending a month in hospital battling pneumonia.
The Vatican announced on Saturday that the 88-year-old pope had signed off on the reform plans from Rome’s Gemelli hospital earlier in the week. Francis has been hospitalized since February 14, his longest since his election as pope.
Reforms on the table include how to give greater roles to women in the Catholic Church, including ordaining them as deacons, and the greater inclusion of laity in governance and decision making.

Sounds reminiscent of Notre Dame deciding to go "Co-Ed" and authorizing a Lay Board of Trustees...about time for the Vatican.
Note:...there's even talk about greater inclusion of LGBTQ Catholics...

Are you going to try to tie this to supporting child murder again?

That's what you've just tried to do, Jake...let me know when you're willing to sit down and discuss
the issue of whether or not women who are forced or coerced into pregnancies they never wanted should be forced by government to carry every one of those pregnancies to term.
2 things. 1- I've already made my position explicit on this.
2 - I would guzzle Angolan after-birth before I would sit down and listen to your vile ramblings. I don't even believe you belong in polite American society.
Translation:..."I know my stance denies women...who have been forced or coerced into pregnancies
never wanted...unjustly, their right to choose whether or not to abort them, but I can't admit it."
All that other "Flowery Language" is just smoke to avoid coming to grips with the truth...for which I've given you and everyone else documented evidence...both Theologically and Temporally...that supports my contention.
Don't forget that I represent 90% of the American population's view on this issue...you, just the extreme 10% who won't face reality and continue to insist on zero abortions for any and all circumstances...no matter how egregious and harmful to women they might be. That's why you won't sit down and go through facts, data...and the Catholic Church's history on fetal Personhood teaching.
If you'll accept that there is common ground in the effort to "Reduce" the number of abortions, we can all make real progress...and I've stated my views on that multiple times. First, however, you'll need to accept that there is wisdom in what we in the 90% majority have discerned...and work with us.
That's literally the opposite of what I've said. Do some homework.

If you're accepting of women being able to choose abortion, why are you complaining about my stance?
