Member of Vatican's Female Deacons Commission, Awarded by Ratzinger, Wants Female Cardinals and Priests

“Why not include women in the college of cardinals?”, Anne-Marie Pelletier, 74, a French member of the Vatican female deacons commission, told La-Croix.com (June 25).

She believes that women should exercise authority in parishes, episcopal councils and in Francis' council and that it isn’t “so outlandish” to think the Church might one day accept the ordination of women.

Pelletier was the first woman winner of the Ratzinger Prize for Theology in 2014, and wrote Francis’ 2017 Good Friday ‘Via Crucis’ meditations.

The Ratzinger Prize, endowed with 50'000 Euro, is awarded since 2011 to candidates personally approved by Benedict XVI and has already gained a reputation of honouring anti-Catholic third-class theologians.

Since February 2013, Francis is the pope and this woman was almost certainly awarded by FRANCIS, not by Ratzinger ...
It is a mockery of Ratzinger’s oeuvre to award such a German with the prize named after him.

I'm not familiar with the parish structures in other countries, but females have nearly ruined the Church in the U.S. Most especially the more N.O. churches, and churches that have progressive priests. The Societies and Oratories have a much more structured base as they only say the Latin mass / or the N.O. in Latin, and need less assistance from the parishioners and councils concerning the liturgy.

Benedict XVI has duped many Catholics over the years. He was JPII's right hand man who did nothing with peodophile priests, he was one of the leaders of the modernist VII Council, he supports and promotes ecuminism (all religions are same , we worship the same God), forced to step down because of Vatican Bank scandal and scandals with predatory priests, says Jews should not be converted, promoted intereligious prayer conference, promoted Moto Proprio but has not offered the TLM. I could go on and on about this man. He is a modernist to the core. Don't fall for his neo-con persona.

Yet he's still the pope and Francis isn't. We must respect that.

Sorry, Jimmy. Wishful thinking isn't going to change Benedict's own statements regarding his resignation.

You imply Benedict aproved the granting of the prize to this woman, why? Do you believe everything that comes out of the drug-fuelled orgy organizers' mouths? Do you believe everything the Sankt Hallen mafia says? Do you believe...... ETC. Well, I don't!!!

B16 is our pope but he's not a good one. He's a modernist.
