Tens of thousands of women served as fully ordained deacons in Catholic parishes during ten long centuries.
Though some women deacons ministered in Italy and Gaul, the vast majority lived and worked in Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. At that time the Orthodox East was still part of the Catholic Church.
This video presents the historical facts: the known women deacons and how they were ordained. It highlights amazingly strong evidence that is still unknown, or ignored, by many.
Please be patient if you experience a slow beginning at start up.
