All feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt

Pope Francis declared yesterday that "all feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt" after the presentation made by a professor of canon law at the anti-pededralist summit held at the Vatican.

"Inviting a woman to speak, this is not going into the modality of an ecclesiastical feminism, because in the end all feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt", were the words used by the pope to try to rent the exhibition of Linda Ghisoni, Italian professor of canon law and first woman to participate in the presentations of the anti-federalist summit bringing together 190 bishops from around the world.

Sitting next to the teacher in the atrium of the new Synod clbadroom, where the working sessions are held, Francisco added: "By listening to Ghisoni's intervention, I'm going to talk to you. I have heard the Church speak for itself, that is to say that we have all talked about the Church., in all the presentations, but this time it's the Church herself who spoke is not only a matter of style: the feminine genius that is reflected in the Church is a woman. "

According to statements reproduced by the DPA agency, the pope said that inviting a woman to the summit amounted to inviting the church to "talk about herself".

"It is the step that we must make with force: the woman is the image of the Church, it is woman, mother, a style, without this style, we would speak of the people of God, but as organization, perhaps a union, but not as a family enlightened by Mother Church. "

Bergoglio added: "It is not a question of giving more functions to women in the Church, it is good, but it does not solve the problem, to the woman as a figure of the Church in our thought. and therefore to think of the Church as a woman ".

Ghisoni, who is also under-secretary of the Laity, Family and Life Dicastery, asked this forum to "take charge of what happened so that prevention does not end in a beautiful program, but become an ordinary pastoral attitude "according to what the agencies have reproduced.
