Francisco controversial: all feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt

"To invite a woman to speak is not to enter the form of an ecclesiastical feminism, because in the end all feminism ends up being a machismo with a skirt", said the Pope in his words to tempt to rent the exhibition Linda Ghisoni, professor of Italian canon law and first woman to intervene in the presentations of the anti-federalist summit gathering 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 heard the church speak for itself, that is, we all talked about the church., in all the presentations, but this time it was is the same Church that has spoken It is not only a question of style: the feminine genius that is reflected in the Church is the woman ".

The pope said that inviting a woman to the summit meant inviting the church to "speak to herself". "This is the step we must take with great force: the woman is the image of the church is the wife, the mother. A style. Without this style, we would speak of the people of God, but as an organization, perhaps a union, but not as a family enlightened by the mother church. "

On the role of women in the Church and their marginalization of places of power, Bergoglio added: "It's not about giving more women to the Church, that's fine, but it does not solve the problem. It is about integrating women as a figure of the Church into 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 with a beautiful program, but become an ordinary pastoral attitude ".
