Constitution for Europe: Statements.
4:00 pm
Mary White (Fianna Fail)
I am a practising Catholic but there are many Roman Catholic Nationalists who are against women becoming priests. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said he would like to introduce deacons into the church and that they would be trained up to give communion and hold funeral services but that women could not be deacons in the Catholic Church. I cannot predict when it will happen but I believe the future looks more optimistic for women.
