Fr Tony Flannery supporting women’s ordination in Rome
In the immediate aftermath of Pope Francis’ decision to re-examine the question of ordaining women to the office of deacon, Women’s Ordination Worldwide – an organisation aiming at the ordination of women to the priesthood itself – held its first permitted meeting in Rome in early June, 2016.
WOW organizers had a permit for their demonstration, making it, they say, the first legal demonstration for the group in Rome. According to The Tablet, WOW leaders were also received respectfully by a Vatican official.
