He just did it - Pope 'The Cuck' Francis just crossed the Rubicon on the catholic church's prime directive - to never bloody let a woman attain any power/status in your religion.
This is it folks - the end of the catholic church - it is DONE. Pope Francis just broke with 2000 years of catholic rule and opened the door for women. Like any other masculine domain now relegated to the dustbins of history it will take women at maximum one generation to completely dismantle the church and challenge each and every existing doctrine.
This liberal Marxist fucker - is this really what 1.2 Billion catholics stand for? It starts with deacons and before you know it we have a wench like Hillary or Merkel declared pope. I am just glad that I will most likely be dead or too old to care by that time. 264 popes are rotating in their graves today.

VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis said Thursday he is willing to create a commission to study whether women can be deacons in the Catholic Church, signaling an openness to letting women serve in ordained ministry currently reserved to men.
Francis agreed to the proposal during a closed-door meeting with some 900 superiors of women's religious orders.
Deacons are ordained ministers but are not priests, though they can perform many of the same functions as priests: preside at weddings, baptisms and funerals, and preach. They cannot, however, celebrate Mass.
Expanding opportunities for women in the Church has been debated for years.
Currently, married men - who are also mostly excluded from the Roman Catholic priesthood - can serve as deacons. Women cannot, however, though historians say women served as deacons in the early Church.
According to the National Catholic Reporter: "Many church historians have said however that there is abundant evidence that women served as deacons in the early centuries of the church. The apostle Paul mentions such a woman, Phoebe, in his letter to the Romans."
The pope in no way signaled during a 75-minute conversation with the sisters that the church's longstanding prohibition on ordaining women priests will change. But asked during a question and answer session if he would be willing to create a commission to study whether women could serve as deacons, Francis said he was open to the idea, according to the National Catholic Reporter and Catholic News Service, which were in the audience hall.
The publications quoted Francis as saying: "I accept. It would be useful for the church to clarify this question. I agree."

A woman's role in the Church
Francis noted that the deaconesses of the early church weren't ordained as they are today. But he said he would ask the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to report back on studies that have been done on the issue, Catholic News Service said.
Francis also said he would ask another Vatican office that is in charge of the liturgy to report back on why women aren't allowed to give a homily at Mass.
The Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit author, said the pope's willingness to create a study commission on the women's diaconate is significant in and of itself.
"The female diaconate is not only an idea whose time has come, but a reality recovered from history," he said in an email.
"Women preaching during Mass would mean that Catholics would finally be able to hear reflections on Scripture from women speaking from the pulpit, and thus the Church would be immeasurably enriched. This is news of immense joy for the Church."
