[Sundaycommunity] FRANCESI

[John Scandiffio]

FrancesI

I’m at the Futures Bistro on Bloor, in Toronto,  a wonderful large cafe and meeting place. Marianne has been editing, reviewing and rewriting a piece on the steps to have a girl,that receives the grace , to be Pope. 

I once saw a woman priest, in full liturgical robes.  She was at the side alter conducting a service , in the United Church.   It was stunningly sacred.  

After mass last Sunday at Our Lady of Lourdes a speaker from the Sisters of St. Paul advised that they were presenting their own book sale. These Sisters of St. Paul have full media capabilities ,theologians, writers, and financial reserves. 

I attended the sale, and one book caught my eye. It was called  “The Boy Who Would Be Pope”. Naturally, in today’s world, I approached the Sister , who spoke , and asked her If the Sisters would write a book ‘The Girl Who Would be Pope’? She expressed a definite “No”.  

It seems , in today’s world , that if a girl was reading the book “The boy who would be Pope” she would say why should a girl not be Pope. The spirit of sacred grace is set free. 

In Genesis it is written, so God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. I state this because precedence sets that a Pope must be a man. The principle section of the constitution to appoint a Pope says any member of the faithful can be Pope, if first , the Pope decides they are qualified and appoints them to the Curia, as the Curia operates the Vatican.  It makes no distinction between lay men and lay women. 


Multiple women journalists who write for the associated Press write on the Vatican in the Jesuit magazine AMERICA , published out of Manhattan.  The Vatican knowledge is passed on to both female and male. 

The Pope appointed Dr. Francesca Di Giovanni,  as under-secretary in the Section for Relations with States to the Curia. She will be coordinating the multilateral sector. Francesca Di Giovanni, the first woman to hold this position 

The sacred imagination calls on a residing Pope to make women members of the Curia so they could be elected Pope.  Pope FrancesI. 

Can we imagine being present as she appears at the Papal site talking to the faithful below at Vatican Square. I’m struck breathless.
