“Wanted to make the point that the women of the world we're paying attention to what's happening at the Vatican and advocating for change,” she said.“We're looking for structural change in the church,” she said. “That includes a serious consideration and of ordination of women, which we think will naturally arise out of having more inclusive and collaborative decision-making processes.

The march was part of the Synod on Synodality, a month-long meeting that will help the church chart its future course. The discussions also highlighted some hot-button issues, putting everything on the table for delegates to discuss. Topics include women deacons, priestly celibacy and 2SLGBTQ+ outreach.According to religious studies professor Peter Baltutis, who is the Catholic women's league endowed chair for Catholic studies, the Catholic church has seen declining numbers in North America.
