Council of Cardinals meets to discuss curial reform

Catholic World News - April 28, 2014

The Council of Cardinals—the advisory body that assists Pope Francis is the governance of the universal Church—is holding its fourth meeting from April 28 to 30.

The members of Council are discussing a draft revision to Pastor Bonus, St. John Paul II’s 1988 apostolic constitution on the Roman Curia. St. Pius X (1908) and Venerable Paul VI (1967) had previously undertaken significant curial reforms.


According to Wiki:
Pastor Bonus opened membership in dicasteries to priests, deacons, religious, and lay persons. For centuries, only cardinals were eligible for membership in the organs of the Holy See, but Pope Paul VI allowed diocesan bishops to be members following calls for collegiality at the Second Vatican Council. Pastor Bonus continued the opening of the central government of the church by allowing representatives of all the faithful to have a role in the Roman Curia.


Could this possibly be the way they would increase women's involvement in the Curia? Or Protestants?  Or Non-Catholics in general?
