"The Church's only option is for women to take more power."

The Piarist , values the legacy of Francis, a Pope about whom there were many expectations that he would manage to open the Catholic Church to social realities. In the reactions by There is a broad consensus on its dialoguing nature, which has been highlighted beyond the Catholic sectors. — Yeah, But there are surely many who don't say what they really think, because there are people within the Church who didn't like the fact that Francis was a Pope who gave the Church space to breathe, who distanced himself from ritualism and hierarchical structure.

These critics believe that all of this stems from the deepest Catholicism, and that it actually stems from the Council of Trent. Do you think these critical voices could tip the next conclave toward conservatism? — The Pope has been very intelligent and has tried to leave many things untied. We must consider that, from the hierarchy, the Pope could have done everything to embark on a more open path.



But it's going to be a very difficult path. I think if we ever have a Pope with the same openness, we can already ring the bells, and it speaks volumes about the world we live in. It has never been a history of the most left-wing world leader being the Pope.

Did Francis die without having made the expected reforms? — On the issue of women and homosexuals, there hasn't been enough progress, and much more should have been made. Nor did it break away from the framework and paradigm in which it operated, that of a Church led by men. And we will see this again.

, with a huge amount of male fanfare, leaving women on the sidelines. He's done something in this area, but he should have gone much further. Regarding the recognition of LGBTI groups, he expressed reforms, but always with a but.

— In it It is essential to understand the diversity of gender and sexuality, and that is also given by the world in which one moves. What is the legacy regarding the role of women in the Church? — Some women And they've been able to give her opinions, including Sister Lucía Caram, and there are other organizations within the Vatican in which women have a lot to do. Now, it's one thing for them to have a voice, and another for them to have power in the Vatican.

They have a voice, but they don't have power, and this is an issue that hasn't been resolved. And if this Pope, who has tried and is open, hasn't succeeded, everything suggests that his successor, who may not be as open, won't be able to achieve it. Does Francis prove that a Pope cannot reform the Church? — If this Pope hasn't achieved that, I think the only option is for women to take more power in the Church.

Honestly, I think if they aren't given more power, women should stage a coup and stop going to Mass. Can you imagine if all the women in the world stopped going to Mass for a month? They'd rush to find a solution, and the Vatican's whole scheme would be over. It's like those women in classical Greece who stood up during sex to demand an end to the war.

By recognizing gender diversity, all other diversities will be accepted. How would the Church change with more women in power? — I always believe that the only meaning the Church has, the only, the only, the only, is the world and the transformation of the world. Do you dare to take a trip with the papabili? — No.

What I like about that is the Bishop of Madrid, José Cobo. I don't know the others, and we always have the Holy Spirit blowing in our direction..
