It certainly seems that Pope Francis is making quite the reputation for himself. A lot of changes are beginning to ripple, and, truth be told, I think it's a good thing. Church thinking needs to be modernized on certain subjects. Who are we to judge God's own creations? And women certainly need to be granted more equal footing in what service they can offer, if they are willing to do so.

I suppose having a Pope from the Americas was just what Rome needs.

Actually, last I had heard, Francis is pushing to allow women to take more active and influential roles in the Church. Not to the point of ordaining women--I fear that's still too radical for the Church as she stands now--but giving them more options than joining choirs and nunneries.

Finding balance can be tricky and delicate. But it would be my pleasure to discuss your concerns and questions.
