Sr Nathalie Becquart undersecretary of the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod, says she will vote during the October Synod of Bishops on synodality, echoing recent comments by Pope Francis that everyone attending the synod as a member will be able to vote — both men and women.
Bishops and members of male religious orders have traditionally been the only ones to vote in synods, though women have participated. However, in a recent interview, the Pope told the Argentine newspaper La Nación, “Everyone who participates in the synod will vote. Those who are guests or observers will not vote.”
Becquart said it would be difficult not to address the overall issue of “rethinking women’s participation” at the synod, including the issue of women deacons and the ordination of women as priests. During the interview, Becquart quoted from the continental stage document, noting that “a critical and urgent area ... concerns the role of women and their vocation, rooted in our common baptismal dignity, to participate fully in the life of the Church. A growing awareness and sensitivity towards this issue is registered all over the world.”
