Clerical Whispers: Equal say for women in Church decisions
How very sad that what the Catholic Bishops Conference of India is doing... giving an equal voice to women on ecclesiastic councils:
' Some of the bodies where women stand to get equal representation are CBCI commissions, which take decisions regarding all aspects of Catholic life; seminaries; parish and diocesan pastoral councils, which take administrative decisions; finance committees that decide diocese budgets; marriage tribunals and social service societies.
Women can “also become pastoral assistants in all parishes and take part in a common decision-making process”, says the policy, which includes a plan to ensure violence-free homes and workplaces.'
