1. Vatican City
A new decree from Pope Francis allows women to be altar servers, distributors of Communion, and readers at liturgies â roles many women were already carrying out around the world but are now protected by the Code of Canon Law. Previously, a conservative bishop could bar women from serving in these roles. âThis codifies that women are equal to men in these roles and is big because in some cultures women are still considered unclean and cannot be near the sacred,â said Phyllis Zagano, a religion professor at Hofstra University in New York.
