Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

The gathering of the bishops for the synod proved that the topic was settled and posed less than 1% of importance compared with the other pressing Church issues francis had to face.....hence the declaration - no women deacons

Now in an about face, francis has imposed something contrary to canon law.......if the presiding group of bishops at the synod have decided that there can be no women deacons then this is the final standing on the issue.

francis is going beyond his powers and it will not fare well for him
the diaconate is the preparation for the priesthood
women already have leading roles in the church such as preparing people for sacraments

this power play is not good for the church ....neither from francis or the women pressing for admission to the diaconate.
i worry so much for their souls
