  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils.

  • The Rise of the Cardinals C. 1049-1100
    The Rise of the Cardinals c. 1049-1100 Peter Firth The election of Pope Francis in the March brought to our attention one of the key roles undertaken by cardinals concerning papal elections. The subsequent appointment of eight cardinals to review the government of the Church by the Vatican has also stimulated wide interest in the responsibilities of cardinals. It therefore seems appropriate to go back nearly a thousand years to identify some of the historical issues which led to the cardinals’ pre-eminent position in the continuation of the papacy, especially the late eleventh-century emergence of a College of Cardinals; this can be taken together with the actual origin and meaning of the term ‘cardinal’ itself. Let us first start, however, in the 21st century by looking for clues relating to more recent cardinals. Pope Francis, when he was Archbishop Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, was appointed cardinal-priest of S. Roberto Bellarmino by John Paul II on February 21st 2001. That same day Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor was made cardinal- priest of S. Maria sopra Minerva. Pope Benedict XVI had originally been appointed to the cardinalate in 1977 as cardinal-priest of S. Maria Consolatrice al Tiburtino, then as cardinal-bishop of Velletri-Segni in 1993, and, finally in 2002, as cardinal-bishop of Ostia, the pre-eminent cardinal-bishopric. Cardinal Raffaele Farina, the former Vatican Archivist and Librarian was elevated on November 24th 2007 as cardinal-deacon of S. Giovanni della Pigna. By now, from these linkages, we have some strong indicators towards the early history of the cardinalate.
