Pink Smoke at the Vatican: Women Demand a Voice in Catholic Church Led by "Old Celibate Men"

While the world focused on the selection of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to become pope, a protest took place outside the Vatican that received far less attention. The masses gathered outside the Sistine Chapel were waiting for white smoke, the signal that a new pope had been chosen. But smoke of a different color began billowing into the sky over the Vatican. It was released by protesters demanding a greater role for women in the Catholic Church. We speak with Erin Saiz Hanna, executive director of the Women’s Ordination Conference, and Janice Sevre-Duszynska, an excommunicated female priest.
