"Feminine genius" "strawberries on the cake" Pope Francis speaks on role of women
Pope praises ‘feminine genius’ as Vatican readies report on U.S. nuns - Strange Bedfellows — Politics News
Pope Francis has praised the role of women in Catholic theology, extolling what he called their “feminine genius,” describing them as “strawberries on the cake” and talking about a “specific contribution of women to the intelligence of the faith.”
The pontiff made his remarks even as the Vatican prepares to release a report on its much-criticized two-year investigation of America’s outspoken women of faith.
It was quietly disclosed this week that a report on the Vatican’s investigation of U.S. nuns, officially referred to as an “apostolic visitation,” will be released on Dec. 16. Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain has been charged with bringing the sisters into line.
Pope Francis was talking up women, diversity and a “healthy pluralism of views” in a Friday speech to the 30-member International Theological Commission that advises the pontiff and the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The Vatican released a text.
