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 know that women are being called by the Holy Spirit and women are living diakonia in creative, ordinary ways today. Now, as a mother of a toddler girl, I want to discern with the Church on how to make way for her to discern her own future calling, should the Spirit call her.”

“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.”
