Cardinals to urge Pope to appoint more women to key posts

[UrbScotty]

Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras said he was backing more posts for women after the Pope named him this month to lead a task force of eight cardinals from around the world to reform the Roman Curia, an alleged hotbed of intrigue, infighting and corruption.

The cardinal's comments, made to The Sunday Times, were backed by Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi on Sunday.

"It is a natural step – there is a move towards putting more women in key roles where they are qualified," he said.

But I don't want to miss any of your threads any more than I would rug's.

One day after I'm long gone, but one day... we will see women accepted as Catholic priests and maybe eventually a female pope. (Yes, I'm aware of the historical possibility that there already was one posing as a man during the Middle Ages.)
