Catholic bishops back pastoral letter on women’s concerns
A committee of Roman Catholic bishops released a proposed pastoral letter denouncing sexism as a moral and social evil while upholding male priesthood and opposition to artificial birth control. The document, drafted by the Ad Hoc Committee for a Pastoral Response to Women's Concerns, urges greater gender equality in church and workplace and discusses women deacons and girls as altar servers. It will be debated at the June Notre Dame meeting and voted on in Washington in November.
