Pope Francis Grants Women Voting Rights at Bishops' Meeting
TL;DR Summary
Women will be allowed to vote at the Synod of Bishops for the first time in October after a decision by Pope Francis. The changes represent a "significant crack in the stained glass ceiling," according to the Women's Ordination Conference. The 70 non-bishops appointed by the pope with voting rights will be drawn from priests, consecrated women, deacons, and faithful Catholics who do not have an ordained position within the church hierarchy. Half will be women, with young people also represented.
