Vatican Consultant: Pope Francis’ ‘Tried Hard to Put Women’ in Positions of Responsibility Within the Catholic Church

EXCERPT:

ALVARE: “I think he would disagree that, quote, 'he drew a line on women in the Church.' This is believed by Catholics to be a line that Jesus himself drew and that Popes simply maintain. What I've seen in my work at the Holy See, and in particular some of my advice is directly related to the question of women in the church and the world, is he's really tried hard to put women in positions of responsibility. And he succeeded in that.”
