Catholic women across the world are watching Pope Leo's early papacy with renewed hope for the possibility of becoming ordained deacons. After years of advocacy and prayer, these women see potential for historic change in a church tradition that has restricted the diaconate to men for centuries.

The optimism stems from recent Vatican documents that suggest openness to expanding diaconal ministry. A document approved under Pope Francis specifically states that no reason or impediment should prevent women from carrying out leadership roles in the church, adding that what comes from the Holy Spirit cannot be stopped. Most significantly, it acknowledges that the question of women's access to diaconal ministry remains open and requires continued discernment.
