I’m a cradle Catholic who is still a faithful member of the Church. I know many compassionate and affirming priests who have encouraged me on my journey of faith. However, despite my attempts to promote the role of women in the church I have been endlessly frustrated by the controlling nature of so many others, and pray that the accepting attitude of Pope Francis will permeate the Synod and that women may be accepted on an equal footing to men in the church in the future.
