Pope Francis has once again shot down the progressive notion of women becoming Catholic priests or deacons, declaring that holy orders will be reserved for men.
While some progressive activists had hoped that the pope would at least allow women deacons, the Roman Pontiff said this would be difficult due to the diaconate being “the first degree of holy orders in the Catholic Church, followed by the priesthood and finally the episcopate.” “The fact that the woman does not access ministerial life is not a deprivation, because her place is much more important,” he told Argentine journalist Sergio Rubin and Italian journalist Francesca Ambrogetti . “I think we err in our catechesis in explaining these things, and ultimately we fall back on an administrative criterion that does not work in the long run.
“Lutherans ordain women, but still few people go to church,” he said. “Their priests can marry, but despite that they can’t grow the number of ministers. The problem is cultural. We should not be naive and think that programmatic changes will bring us the solution.”
