Pope Francis said on Sunday that women he has appointed in the Vatican have proved they can be better managers than men and that there was too much male chauvinism in the Roman Catholic Church and society at large.
The pope made his comments during an airborne news conference on the plane returning to Rome from his four-day trip to Bahrain.
Francis was asked about the women at the forefront of protests in Iran, but he did not answer the question, pivoting to the topic of the role of women in general. "Things have changed for the better," he said, referring to the management skills of Petrini, who was appointed last year."This is a revolution because women know how the find the right way to go forward," he said.
