He did say we should go forward, men and women, so he believes in a respected role of some kind for them, but I believe I also heard in his Italian-language address the word "tradizione" (tradition). At least the part of his speech that I heard was all about unity, about the church being open to all, about meetings, and about going forward without fear in peace, unity, and charity and for justice, but I didn't hear anything more concrete than that. It was a good, vigorous speech. We'll find out more about the directions he wants to go in as Pope soon, but I was very surprised how quickly they picked him.
