  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church C Urrent Breakdown of Male/Female Leadership in Vatican D Icasteries
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church C urrent breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican d icasteries 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. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above. While women have slowly gained certain leadership roles in the Vatican, you still need just one hand to count those who hold top- level positions in the secretariats, congregations and pontifical councils.

Although the majority of the meeting focused on the abuse crisis, the bishops also discussed the 2020 election, the crisis at the border and the issue of young adults leaving the Church. On June 13, they voted to implement the Pope Francis document “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (“You are the light of the world”), issued by Pope Francis in Indianapolis Colts’ general manager Chris Ballard shares the story of “the greatest feeling” in his life with the audience of the Catholic Business May to help the Church safeguard its members Exchange in Indianapolis on May 17.
