Pope Francis

Aboard the papal plane from Bahrain to Rome Nov. 6, Pope Francis was asked about women’s ongoing struggles for full equality.

He said “I have examined in the Vitican that every time a woman enters a Vitican job, things improve.

This is because, women know how to find the right path and move forward.

Recently, I added Mariana Mazzucato to the (Pontifical Academy for life) because she is a great economist, she would add some humanity to it.

Women bring their own way of doing things (to a job). They are women, and they do not do their things like men, we need them.

A society that excludes women from a public life becomes poor. Equal rights, yes, also equal opportunity, equality in moving forward because the contrary is impoverishing.”
