Pope Francis has been sharply criticised by one of Belgium’s Catholic universities over his stance on the role of women in society, in a strongly worded press release issued just moments after the pontiff spoke at the college.

Professors and students at UCLouvain, where the 87-year-old pontiff had made a speech on Saturday afternoon, said they wanted to express their ‘incomprehension and disapproval’ about the pope’s views. Francis went to the university on Saturday to celebrate its upcoming 600th anniversary as part of a weekend trip he is making to Belgium. His speech largely called for global action on climate change, but he also responded to a letter to him from students and professors that had asked about the Catholic church’s teaching on women

The red pope
I don't need an old single man to tell us what is what in gender.
Hate the pope, love what he said here. As I woman I’m tired of being forced in to the male role in this society. This is not what my soul was meant to be. 😭😭😭
Women aren't more important than man 0:41, this is heresy. This man isn't the pope, he's not even Christian.
Facts
He's part of the beast system
MORE LIFE MY POPE, GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN UPHOLDING A WOMAN SHINE FORTH TO BE SEEN. MERCYMOVES.
What???? so confused message! In one moment what he said made me think “then, why no female popes!” Then he says something that makes me think “women must be women? Is that your business?” Uhg! Religion
Ww3
I kept listening waiting to hear the controversial part, then the video ended.
Please give him some pills because he is more and more out of touch of the real world.
Two things that have destroyed this world,human greed and religion.
Truth hurts sometimes
Western Europe is weak.
He's an 87 year old man ffs.
The expression of the woman behind him is priceless though
Delusional
He's a great man !

He said exactly what is true. Women are women and men are men.
He didn't say anything wrong at all
Literally the least offensive thing this man has ever said
