Are you aware what Francis is going through with just trying to get the laity who have been deprived of the Eucharist, because they were divorced and remarried, able to receive Communion again?  He has a whole spectrum of cardinals, bishops some conservative theologians----stating that the pope is a [her---c].
  

The Vatican is more than the pope.  It is all those cardinals, arch/bishops, etc.  who believe that ONLY men were the followers of Jesus [they weren't] AND Jesus only selected twelve men as Apostles.


He is lucky if he's able to get women to be accepted as permanent deacons [which hasn't happened, yet].
