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 have worked alongside many lay and religious women in my ministry who have exhibited outstanding ability for ministry. Many have taught me by their example how to be a more effective minister, and by their instruction, helped me to grow in this role…It’s time that the Church gets in step with society and recognizes the equality of women in the workplace. Women are as capable as men in the work of ministry, and have demonstrated the same equality in scholarship, skills and education as men.”

Fr. Joseph A. Genito, O.S.A

Pastor, St. Thomas of Villanova Parish, Philadelphia, PA

“If there were women deacons in my parish, lay women would relate in a deep and meaningful way to deacons who look, act, speak and feel more like themselves…Though I am an unlikely choice to wear the alb and stole, I have a deep commitment to service in Christ’s name and I try to live it every day. Any need that arises, I am ready to shoulder it, though some needs of our sisters and brothers would be well- or better-served by a woman’s different compassion.”

Deacon Bill Zapcic

Parish Deacon and Homilist, Retired Journalist, Tinton Falls, NJ

“Not only is ordaining women as deacons a restoration of the dynamism of the early Church, it is a matter of justice!”
