The Spin

Left narrative

The decision reflects the Pope's hope to allow women a greater say in the activities of the Catholic Church. While there is some unease concerning Francis' desire for inclusivity, change is normal in life and in history. Pope Francis has taken the step of doing more than any other predecessor to give women a greater say in the church's decision-making.

Right narrative

Pope Francis' decisions are dangerous, attempting to transform the church into a secular democracy. Power is being snatched away from bishops and the changes are in no way rooted in scripture and tradition. Pope Francis is up to his old tricks again, and there are echoes of liberal socialism in moves like this.
