Diácono William T. Ditewig, Ph.D.

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

"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."

“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.”

“If I were a deacon, I would have the support of other deacons and a community where I could draw strength through prayer and discernment. Women would have the privilege of speaking about Catholic social teaching from the ambo. I do believe women as deacons would renew the face of the Church.”

“We are happy to be able to share about women in the Church who lead and are heard, especially for the youngest amongst us who need to hear this message.”
