Pope Leo affirmed that including women in the ordained diaconate is a legitimate topic for ongoing discernment during his <\/span>recent interview<\/span><\/a> with CRUX\u2019s Elise Allen. He underscores the need for a renewed understanding and lived practice of the whole diaconate \u2013 permanent and transitional \u2013 in the universal Church.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Holy Father adds: <\/span>\u201cI am certainly willing to continue to listen to people.\u201d <\/b>We at Discerning Deacons applaud Pope Leo\u2019s commitment to the synodal journey with listening as its central practice. We are committed to the <\/span>Synod\u2019s Implementation Phase<\/span><\/a> and to working cooperatively to explore a renewed diaconate, as inspired by Paragraphs 60 and 73 in the <\/span>Documento final del S\u00ednodo<\/span><\/a>. After all, there is no Church doctrine against restoring women to the ordained permanent diaconate.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Discerning Deacons will submit a request to meet with the Holy Father to share testimonies of how the Holy Spirit is calling forth the vocational calls of women to diaconate ministry in our local communities. We ask you \u2013 Discerning Deacons friends and followers \u2013 to pray that this request be received so that we have the opportunity to enter into dialogue and mutual listening with Pope Leo.<\/span><\/p>
