Women Heading Vatican Dicasteries Marks “Spirit-Led” Ecclesial Development - Cardinal Ouellet
The appointment of laypeople to positions of authority in the Roman Curia is not a temporary concession, BUT an ecclesiological advance and a "Spirit-led development", “conservative” Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation for Bishops, wrote on VaticanNews.va (February 16).
Cardinal Ouellet acknowledges the “unease about a papal decision” given that nuns are now in positions reserved to bishops as there is a “close link between the ordained ministry and the function of governing the Church”.
BUT: He has “no doubt” that Pope Francis’ gesture is promising for the future: “It marks the beginning of recognition of the authority of charisms by hierarchical authority.”
Cardinal Ouellet's article devotes a significant amount of words to elaborating on the Holy Spirit’s role beyond sacramental ordination, as if this were not well-known before Francis' novelties.

To attribute ideologically driven appointments to the 'Holy Spirit' seems to be an offense against the very Spirit being so perniciously invoked. This same misattribution has been used throughout Vatican II and since to justify the most spurious actions since then.

“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.”
There are three kinds of spirits: the Holy Spirit, liquid spirits and demonic spirits. This talk comes from a demonic spirit.
The evil spirit of Vatican 2.
The evil spirit of Jezabel (feminism) which began long before V2 and is alive and well among so-called "conservatives & traditionalists."
True regarding Feminism. I was referring to the "Spirit of Vatican 2" excuse the bishops and theologians use to subvert the truth.
What strikes me most is the level of blasphemous audacity of the conciliar church. They regularly attribute all their abominations, heresies, and apostasies to the work of the Holy Spirit. Monstrous audacity. And in November 2022, Francis even declared that everything he did was because the Holy Spirit told him to. Damned blasphemer.
