The Bishops from around the world summoned by Pope Francis to debate during October on the future of the Church in the so-called "Synod on Synodality" asked this Saturday for greater recognition of the role of women within the Church, requesting the end of labor and salary discrimination based on gender and open the door to studying the female diaconate to open participation in one of the ministries, for the moment, reserved for men. The 365 members of the Synodal Assembly, including the Pope and six other Argentines with the right to vote, released this Saturday a document summarizing the work, in which they affirm, in a 40-page text, that "the Churches of around the world have clearly formulated the request for greater recognition and valorization of the contribution of women and the growth of the pastoral responsibilities entrusted to them in all areas of the life and mission of the Church. In this framework, they ask "how the Church can include more women in roles and ministries", facing the second part of the Synod that will be held in Rome in October 2024, although they also recognize the resistance of a sector of the Church to the opening. In that sense, the three points with the most votes against, according to the information released by the Vatican, were points J and N of chapter 9, dedicated to women, and section I of chapter 11, which also talks about of the female diaconate. This year, following the Pope's decision, women's suffrage was enabled for the first time for a synodal assembly, with 54 women with the right to vote during the assembly. For the so-called "synodal fathers and mothers", in particular, one of the issues that must be addressed is "that cases of employment discrimination and unfair remuneration be resolved within the Church, particularly with respect to consecrated women who too often They are often considered cheap labor", at the same time that they propose "that adequately trained women can be judges in all canonical trials". When making proposals, the document maintains that "when dignity and justice in the relationships between men and women are undermined in the Church, the credibility of the announcement we make to the world is weakened" and assures that "the synodal process shows that "a renewal of relationships and structural changes is necessary." "In this way we can improve the participation and contribution of everyone: lay men and women, consecrated men and women, deacons, priests and bishops
