*Cough* Told You So!!

Maybe it's news to the gullible, but it's not news to me or my readers.

Pope Francis did not recently shut down the possibility of a female diaconate, contrary to popular belief, according to a top Vatican media official.

Fr. Bernd Hagenkord, S.J., the “chief of service” coordinating all six language sections of Vatican News, published an article on what Pope Francis really said during his May 10 meeting with the International Union of Superiors General (IUSG). Fr. Hagenkord corrected the impression that the pope told an inquiring religious sister about the possibility to found her own church, also making it clear that Pope Francis has not ruled out the ordination of women as deacons....

It's been established that Pp. Francis is a Peronist; he is willing and able to talk from both sides of his mouth.  It's also established that he will NEVER clarify his ambiguity.

So yah, he'd approve female "deacons."  But he needs another couple of crumbs before he "develops" Revelation.
