In an interview with ABC news, TCA’s senior fellow Ashley McGuire explains how the conclave to elect a new pope is not a political process to the Catholic faithful, but a spiritual one led by the Holy Spirit, which women of the Catholic Church fully support. She also describes how the synodal process of Pope Francis opened conversations that led to much confusion within the Church, creating division that the newly elected pope – whomever he may be – will need to address with leadership and clarity.
