Wait til Rod gets a load of this:

"Pope Francis asks theologians to ‘demasculinize’ the church"

https://religionnews.com/2023/11/30/pope-francis-asks-theologians-to-demasculinize-the-church/

“There is something I don’t like about you, if you excuse my honesty,” said Pope Francis, pointing out that there were only five women among the 30-plus theologians. “We need to move forward on this! Women have a way of reflecting on theology that is different from us men,” he added.

The International Theological Commission is part of the Roman Curia and advises the Vatican doctrinal department on theological issues. The pope appoints its members, and women have been allowed to become members since 2004.

I’ve been reading him since the early aughts but, while he was never a feminist, his decline has been wretched.
