As always, you are the voice of reason.  Of course, since women by definition cannot be clergy, the term laity automatically establishes that women will be included.  Besides, as you correctly point out, a Bishop mentioned diversity, and if a Bishop says there is diversity, then we know there is diversity.  As you well know, Bishops are not prone to stating things that are untrue, or inaccurate.  Good to see you here continuing your defense of the Church!  Have a Blessed Day!
