There it is. The magnificent man he is.

The laity. He states the laity is playing a greater role in the Catholic faith.

Women, be they lay or religious are acting in greater capacity than ever for their faith.

These are not quotes.

The is the Pope. This is what he does. He looks into the hearts of his congregation to understand where he needs to support their love of God. I am rather confident he will move women into higher areas of achievement within the Catholic church.

He has a very interesting history to achievement in the church himself. He is very generous in his love for the congregation that God assembles.

Kindly consider the 'status' of women have changed immensely in the USA. They are no longer chattel, they vote and they work for a living attending colleges in many instances to achieve their goal of work. Pope Francis reflects on all the changes in the faithful lives. I would expect women to be accepted into study leading to priesthood before any other advances.

This is about family. It is about the religious family of the Catholic church as well. He asked to be appreciative of the elderly Nuns and Priests. He thanks them for their faithful practice in the church. Pope Francis asked the religious to examine their first encounter with God and to return to that love and embrace it to refresh their relationship with God and his will.

Pope Francis is very much at the heart of the faithful.
