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."

“Being able to be educated on who St. Phoebe is and giving others the chance to meet her, being part of a community of women who promote an inclusive model of the church, and seeing my own community come alive and heal from division provides a vision of what can and will be possible one day in the Catholic Church.”

“I have witnessed these women become Catholic high school teachers, professors, writers, administer parish life and leaders of prayer services. Women have been my peers and supervisors, except in diaconal ministry. I continue to hold out hope that women’s gifts for ministry and service can and will be acknowledged by the church.”

“I am grateful as a pastor and a part of the BCCs here to learn and journey together with others. As a priest in our community, I am proud to be a part of this ministry to uplift women who are struggling. It is great joy and fulfillment. In my personal life, I have experienced the richness of acknowledging and uplifting the witness of women in the early Church and also in our Church today.”

Fr. Vincent Dsouza, SJ
