Diácono William T. Ditewig, Ph.D.

Ex director ejecutivo del Secretariado para el Diaconado, Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos

April 26, 2021

"Durante años, la Iglesia ha estado investigando y discerniendo el papel de las mujeres en el diaconado. Tan pronto como San Pablo VI renovó el diaconado en 1967, la cuestión fue planteada por los obispos, y esas discusiones han continuado bajo cada papa desde entonces. El Papa Francisco ha intensificado el proceso a través de dos comisiones papales. Discerning Deacons está respaldando el discernimiento de la Iglesia apoyando en la oración, muy similar a los primeros "círculos de diáconos" que llevaron a la renovación del diaconado en el Vaticano II."

“If women were able to serve as deacons, it would magnify the grace and love of God and make it more widely available.”

“I was not raised Catholic but converted in my adult life. As a child, Mother Mary would appear to me often…I believe Mary appearing to me as a child who knew nothing about the Catholic Church was more than her wanting me to find Christ through the Church. I believe she came to me because I was meant to do more for the Church.”

“I felt seen in my call to pastoral care, to teaching, to preaching—just as clearly as my ordained colleagues are seen in theirs. I felt valued. Not invisible. Not dismissed. I don’t know what the future holds—for me, or for the role of women in the Church. But I know this: I have hope.”

Coordinator of Middle School & Confirmation, St. Thomas Becket, Eagan, MN
