Zenit reports that the Pope has appointed a new Connission to replace the previous one, which stalled on the question, to investigate the issue of potentially admitting women to the Diaconate.
His Holiness is quoted as pointing out that historically the female diaconate was, it appears, of a particular period and largely in just one region, Syria. He also says he cannot proceed without the proper theological and historical background being studied, and also speaks of it having a different vision from the male diaconate.

We shall have to see what transpires.
