We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.

A church without women would be like the apostolic college without Mary. The Madonna is more important than the apostles, and the church herself is feminine, the spouse of Christ and a mother.

In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.

It is important to be in the 'we' of the Church, in the 'we' of the life of the Liturgy.

My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
