Pope Francis expressed a desire for women to become more involved in the Roman Catholic Church.
Recalling the "indispensable role" of women in society, Francis said he has been pleased to see women sharing pastoral responsibilities with priests and families, adding that he wants women to take on a role that is "more capillary and incisive" in the church.
In the address, Francis praised women for their "gifts of delicacy," including a "special sensitivity and tenderness." He also spoke of women in the workplace, noting their role should be expanded there as well.
