In a monumental shift, the Vatican's powerful doctrinal office on Dec. 18 declared it possible for Catholic priests to bless same-sex unions. In this episode of "The Vatican Briefing," Vatican experts Joshua McElwee and Christopher White discuss the unexpected decree and its possible long-term implications. They also have a conversation with Kerry Robinson, president and CEO of Catholic Charities USA. Robinson, the first laywoman to lead her organization, expresses praise for Pope Francis' efforts to expand opportunities for women's leadership in the Catholic Church, calling it "a matter of managerial and moral urgency." Robinson said she was grateful that the discussions at the pope's October Synod of Bishops included a call to allow women to better participate in the global faith's decision-making processes. "Particularly, when it comes to the church and church leadership and church decision-making, we are impoverished without the contribution of so many well-educated, theologically astute, [and] pastorally sensitive women," she said.
