Washington Post: Women can vote for first time at key meeting for Catholics, pope rules
Women will be allowed to vote at a key meeting for Catholics, the Synod of Bishops, for the first time in October after a decision by Pope Francis.
The pope’s changes were announced Wednesday through the Vatican’s news website. They represent a “significant crack in the stained glass ceiling,” Kate McElwee, executive director of the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC), said in a news release.
