“None of us was baptized a priest or bishop: we were all baptized as lay people, men and women. We are protagonists of the Church.”
“We pray that the laity, especially women, may participate more in areas of responsibility in the Church.”
“Today we still need to make greater space for a more incisive feminine presence in the Church – I mean a lay presence – but under-lining the feminine aspect, because women are often put to one side.”
