As I See It: May Pope Leo XIV continue his predecessor's spirit of advocacy for women

In 2019, I wrote a column about the Catholic Church’s failure in that it excludes women from key leadership positions, and particularly the institutional prohibition disallowing women to preach the gospel.

Originally published in our sister newspaper the Salem News, the piece titled “Exclusion Of Women Diminishes The Catholic Church” was distributed nationally and internationally through Women’s Ordination Worldwide – which uses the acronym WOW. The organization was founded in 1996 at the first European Synod in Austria.
