The Pope Video - October 2020: Women in leadership in the Church


Pope Francis has released a video message accompanying his prayer intention for October 2020, which this month is for Women in leadership in the Church. See a link to the video below. The message text follows:

"No one has been baptized a priest or a bishop. We have all been baptized as lay people.

Lay people are protagonists of the Church.

Today, it is especially necessary to create broader opportunities for a more incisive female presence in the Church.

And we must emphasize the feminine lay presence because women tend to be left aside.

We must promote the integration of women, especially where important decisions are made.

We pray that by the virtue of baptism, the laity, especially women, may participate more in areas of responsibility in the Church, without falling into forms of clericalism that diminish the lay charism."
