Click for article:  Pope calls for commission to study reinstating female deacons - Vatican Radio As I have previously remarked , I do not really object to Pope Francis's constant launching of trial balloons in matters of Catholic thought and church policy. In a way, I admire him for using his office to provoke conversation, even if sobersided churchmen later walk back some of his remarks. I have dubbed these forays Francisisms and tagged under that name the more notable examples. In this one, he has floated the idea of females in the diaconate. Here he might usefully consider the experiences of others, by taking a look at the 19th-century revival of the office of deaconess in the Lutheran and Anglican churches. 'via Blog this'

Here is another of the species of papal pronouncements that I have dubbed Francisisms : headline-grabbing, crowd-pleasing remarks by Pope Francis that later need to be walked back by others in his church. What you thought you heard was not what was truly said, or meant at least. "May 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – The head of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, considered second only to the pope as the Vatican's authority on doctrinal matters, has responded to the question of whether Pope Francis’ recent exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, has opened the door to giving Communion to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics. Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s response is unambiguous: the Church’s teaching cannot be changed, and the exhortation did not do so."
