CNA Staff, Feb 20, 2021 / 03:11 pm (CNA).- A group of Catholic women in France has launched a manifesto to underscore the “beauty of the women’s specific vocation.”
The idea for the manifesto arose right after the publication of Pope Francis’ motu proprio Spiritus Domini. Issued on Jan. 10, 2021, the motu proprio changed Church law to permit women to exercise the lay ministries of lector and acolyte.

The manifesto can be found on the La Vocation du Feminines website. As of Friday afternoon, it had attracted some 500 signatures.
