Pope Francis will allow women to vote in the next bishop’s meeting for the first time in history.
The Catholic leader has announced that 40 women will be able to vote as part of the Synod of Bishops this year.
Francis also said that the next synod, scheduled for October 4 to 29, will hear the views of 70 non-bishop members with half of the group required to be women. At the end of the meetings, the bishops vote on specific proposals and put them to the pope, who then produces a document taking their views into account.The Synod of Bishops gathered at the Synod Hall, in Vatican City, on October 5, 2015
The reforms, published by the Vatican on Wednesday, highlight the pope’s vision for the lay faithful taking on a greater role in church affairs that have long been left to clerics, bishops and cardinals.
