"All feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt," said the pope at the Vatican summit "Diario The capital of La Plata

Pope Francis today declared 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 attempt to praise the exhibition of Linda Ghisoni, Italian professor of canon law and first woman to take part in the anti-federalist summit presentations of 190 bishops from around the world.

Sitting next to the teacher in the atrium of the new Synod clbadroom, where the working sessions are taking place, Francisco added: "Listening to Ghisoni's intervention, I'm going to talk about it. I heard the church speak for itself – that is, we all talked about the church in all the presentations, but this time it was the Church herself who spoke It's not just 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 his wife, his 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 the mother church. "

Bergoglio added, "It's not about giving more women to the Church, that's good, but it does not solve the problem." It's about integrating women into as a figure of the Church in our thinking, and so think of the church with the category of 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 ".
