UCLouvain deplores the conservative positions expressed by Pope Francis on the role of women in society, a remarkable statement from a Catholic university regarding a pope.
Students questioned Pope Francis about the Church's historical role in entrenching female subservience, the unfair division of labour, and disproportionate female poverty.
Pope Francis noted the Church is female and described womanhood as 'fruitful welcome, nurturing, and life-giving dedication' without detailing any plans for reform.
The university's statement described the pope's views on women's roles as deterministic and reductive, prompting criticism from students like Valentine Hendrix.
