Vatican's New Saints: Carlo Acutis And Others & No Female Deacons in the Catholic Church?

Pope Francis has authorized the recognition of miracles for several blessed, including Carlo Acutis, paving the way for their canonization. Additionally, he addressed various issues, accepting the resignation of Archbishop Gabriel Antonio Mestre, clarifying that women cannot become deacons with holy orders, condemning euthanasia as a failure of love, and urging the abolition of human trafficking.
