Pope Francis on Saturday appointed a woman as an undersecretary to the Synod of Bishops for the first time, reported BBC. She was named to the position alongside Father Luis Marín de San Martin.
Sister Nathalie Becquart will have voting rights in the Synod of Bishops – an advisory body for the pope that debates major matters related to the Roman Catholic Church. Sister Becquart, who belongs to France, has worked as a consultant with the synod since 2019.
Becquart said that the appointment was a call to “serve the Universal Church”, reported
Vatican News. The main job is “to help and lead the preparation of the Synod, then the celebration, then the next stage of the implementation”, she said.
