Donna,

Thank you for your article.  The same news outlet a part of the Vatican News media, had on it prior to this that I did post on my FB page about the youth or younger ones in lay leadership pushing for the acceptance of Female Priests and LGBTQ Priests.  This seems to affirm the position of the Vatican as I hear no outcry from the Pope or Archbishops.  That article appears to state the Vatican is looking away.  But it also seems to me the Pope has given a loose approval of both.  The other concern I see is the Pope has appearances in many Protestant gatherings and as well other faith gatherings through video where he gives a brief speech.  I heard on EWTN the Catholic TV truly uses it to "evangelize" or encourage people of faith to return back to the Mother Church even if you are Moslem or other faiths.  He is striving hard to bring all into a One World Religion, ie; the False Prophet?
