Though he did not take the courageous step to ordain women to the diaconate or\u00a0 priesthood, he did begin the discussion of\u00a0 women\u2019s ordination to the diaconate.\u00a0 In an institution with a two-thousand-year history, the future may disclose that he laid the groundwork to prepare the church for women\u2019s ordination.\u00a0 His death is a monumental loss, not only to the Gospel oriented Roman Catholic community but to the world at large.\u00a0 Many of us feel this loss in a deeply personal way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><\/span><span>Consequently, we pray for the Spirit\u2019s guidance of College of Cardinals as they move forward with election of a new pope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>We believe people of all genders around the world will not be treated as equal until the Church recognizes all people as equally blessed by God and equally eligible for ordination.\u00a0 We pray for the enlightenment of all leaders, religious and secular.\u00a0 We pray all our\u00a0 hearts will be filled with a longing for equality and justice, and that all leaders will discover the joy of divine diversity and the wealth of humble service to others.\u00a0 We pray all Christians, particularly those in leadership, will become faithful servants of the body of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The Roman Catholic Womanpriest community will continue our work as a community already committed to the equality of all human beings.
