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

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.
