'When I speak with the women in the parishes, 90% among us have the same opinion,' the cardinal said, adding that bishops are obliged to listen to such voices.
The Jesuit cardinal spoke in detail about his work on the Synod on Synodality.
Traditional Latin Mass communities are flourishing around the world with rising vocations and strong Mass attendance but their existence was ignored in the Synod on Synodality's October assembly and final report.
The mere possibility that this is what’s really going on has put those who want to hold the line on the Church’s governance structure and moral teaching on high alert.
Hollerich, who serves as the relator general of the Synod on Synodality, participated in a Marian pilgrimage to Benin.
The Caritas scandal has cast a shadow over Pope Francis’ upcoming visit to Luxembourg.
EDITORIAL: The Pope’s comments regarding women’s ordination in his interview with CBS put a damper on the movement to alter the Church’s teaching on the priesthood and diaconate.
