In\u00a0Evangelii Gaudium,<\/em>\u00a0Pope Francis recognized the \u201cmany women who share pastoral responsibilities with priests, helping guide people, families, and groups, and offering new contributions to theological reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her\u00a0recent book<\/a>, Mary Rice Hasson, fellow in the Catholic Studies Program of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, quotes Agnese Camilli, \u201cWomen increasingly outnumber men on Church marriage tribunals, serving as auditors, notaries, and defenders of the bond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to Pope Francis\u2019 call for \u201ca profound theology of womanhood\u201d the\u00a0Ethics and Public Policy Center<\/a>\u00a0in Washington co-sponsored a symposium on women last April.
