He affirmed that the Church is actively studying the possibility of women deacons, signaling an openness to a change many Catholic women have awaited for decades.
He stressed that the Church must promote women’s equality and fully value women’s contributions.
In fact, Leo even joked that during the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, his own mother used to say, “Women are better than men” — a lighthearted quip that drew laughter in the hall and echoed Pope Francis’s earlier praise of women’s courage.
Beneath the humor was a clear message: Leo wants a Church that gives women their due respect and opportunities for leadership.
