Francis Open to Women Deacons?
By David Martin
In an interview with journalists
on June 26, Pope Francis feigned anger and surprise over two-month-old reports
that he has opened the door to allowing women deacons in the Catholic Church.
"The first to be surprised
by this news was me," the Pope said on June 26 during an in-flight press briefing en
route to Rome following his three-day visit to Armenia. "They said: 'The Church
opens the door to deaconesses.' Really? I am a bit angry because this is not
telling the truth of things."
