Il direttore dei programmi tedeschi della Radio Vaticana, il gesuita Eberhard von Gemmingen, intervistato dal <\/em>Messaggero<\/em><\/a>, ha detto: \u201cNella Cappella Sistina vedrei bene sessanta Cardinali uomini e sessanta donne: perch\u00e8 non sognare che sessanta donne illustri della Chiesa possano concorrere ad eleggere il Papa\u2026?\u201d. Padre Gemmingen, al quale Benedetto XVI aveva affidato la sua prima intervista da Pontefice, sostiene senza riserve l\u2019apertura del Vaticano alle donne annunciata dal Segretario di Stato Tarcisio Bertone la scorsa settimana a Pieve di Cadore. \u201cIl primo passo da fare – sottolinea Gemmingen – \u00e8 quello di farle crescere di numero nei Consigli Pontifici: numericamente dovrebbero essere la met\u00e0 dei maschi. E\u2019 sempre bene fare un passo alla volta: le grandi riovoluzioni si ottengono gradualmente. Poi si potrebbe giungere ad altro. Perch\u00e8 non pensare di insignirle del titolo di Cardinale?\u201d. \u201cTuttavia – ammette il sacerdote- non credo che il Vaticano aprir\u00e0 subito, con un unico provvedimento: ci vorr\u00e0 tempo. Temo che questi resteranno sogni: ma sognare fa bene e non costa nulla\u2026\u201d. Vorrei ricordare che l\u2019idea non \u00e8 nuova: venne lanciata durante un Sinodo da un vescovo africano e accolta dai colleghi come uno scherzo\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
