Indian Catholics set quotas to empower women

The national assembly of India's Roman Catholic bishops has announced steps to empower women in the church and in society, a move welcomed by a nun who plays a key role in the Indian church, reports Ecumenical News International. The assembly resolved to reserve a minimum of 35 percent of seats in diocesan and parish councils for women. The bishops also approved the appointment of women as professors and spiritual counsellors in theological colleges, which are dominated by priests, who have to be males in the Catholic Church.
