The Vatican publishes the modifications Francis approved, which emphasize his vision for the lay faithful taking on a greater role in church affairs
has decided to give women the right to vote at an upcoming meeting of bishops, an unprecedented change that reflects his hopes to give women greater decision-making responsibilities and laypeople more say in the life of the Catholic Church.
At the end of the meetings, the bishops vote on specific proposals and put them to the pope, who then produces a document taking their views into account.But under the new changes, five religious sisters will join five priests as voting representatives for religious orders. “It’s an important change, it’s not a revolution,” said Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, a top organizer of the synod.
Cardinal Mario Grech, who is in charge of the synod, stressed that with the changes, some 21% of the gathered representatives at the October meeting will be non-bishops, with half of that group women.
