Synod discusses women deaconesses



@EdwardPentin

The #SynodonSynodality is currently discussing "the question of women’s inclusion in the diaconate" and whether it is "possible to envisage this, and in what way." 

Of note is that two small groups 30 and 31 (pictured) have a proportionally higher number of women compared to other tables, with Table 30 seating fervent Swiss pro-women's ordination proponent 

@JeppesenHelena  and heterodox Cardinal McElroy of San Diego.
