Study Commission begins its work

Today at the Vatican, the first meeting of the Study Commission on the Diaconate of Women took place.  This commission was established by the Holy Father on August 2 with the purpose of doing an objective study on the situation in the early Church.

Chaired by Archbishop Luis Ladaria Ferrer, S.J., Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Commission members will meet in morning and evening sessions over two days in the offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
