Pope Francis Gives Women A Vote

     Since he became pope over a decade ago, Francis has taken a stance that equality should be on the minds of the church. Francis believes that women should have a voice in the Catholic Church and should not only be alter girls and presidents of charities. Although, Francis still doesn't believe women should be deacons or priests. On Wednesday, Francis approved changes to allow women to vote at a meeting of bishops. The meetings will take place starting in October and cover a wide variety of topics ranging from the role of women in the church to LGBTQ+ rights. Still, the amount of women voting will be less than 10%. While the Pope is advancing the rights of women in the church, it's still not allowing women to fully have a voice.
