Pope Francis has again publicly indicated he is not considering appointing women to Vatican leadership posts, saying it would promote a "functionalism" of women's roles in the Church, the Catholic News website reports today (June 23, 2015).
But the Pontiff also indicated an equality in ministry between men and women in the Church, saying that all women have the "same work" the Virgin Mary had in receiving the Holy Spirit along with the 12 Apostles at Pentecost.
"The woman in the Church has the same work... that the Madonna had with the Apostles on the morning of Pentecost," said the Pope.
He added, "The Apostles without Mary wouldn't work. Jesus wanted it this way."
