Women Priests in Rome: Will Pope Francis be open to a conversation?

 In article in National Catholic Reporter:


https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/vatican-news/pope-doubles-down-message-church-open-all-including-lgbtq-people-and-women?utm_source=NCR+List&utm_campaign=93199404b8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_08_06_08_51&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6981ecb02e-93199404b8-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

“The pope's remarks came in response to a reporter who asked how Francis can say "todos" when LGBTQ people and women are excluded from the sacraments. 


The pope's response was abstract, seeming to note that in reference to the question of ordination or gay marriage that while the church has laws, it does not mean the church is closed to such individuals. Instead, he said, they must be accompanied by the church. “


 
Since women priests will be in Rome in October, it would be a grace- filled opportunity for  a  conversation with Pope Francis about charting a new path of accompaniment - going forth together as one in love, one in Christ.  A new beginning!
