Anyone Clergy Out There Need A Housekeeper?

from http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2014/06/on-peters-day-francis-to-bishops-are-we.html

Our Pope said this lovely thing....

Saying that "Women are the most beautiful thing God has made," the Pope reiterated his call in Evangelii Gaudium that the "feminine question" in ecclesial life "must be deepened, otherwise you can't understand the church herself." 

While Giansoldati explicitly set aside the question of female clergy, she asked Francis whether a woman would be named as head of a Curial dicastery, a prospect which the pontiff left the door wide open to by replying with a chuckle that "Well [orig: 'Beh'], many times priests [already] end up under the authority of their housekeepers."
