00:00A male-only conclave is a celebration of patriarchy.
00:10A Catholic church without women has never existed and never will.
00:14Smoke out sexism! Smoke out sexism!
00:19A woman's place is in the conclave. Smoke out sexism!
00:24God calls Catholic women to be deacons and priests. Smoke out sexism!
00:30We are doing this because we know we've got a little window of time
00:33before the cardinals are sequestered inside that Sistine Chapel
00:37with no access to their social media and their phones
00:40that they will see the pink smoke over the Vatican
00:43and they will know that women are sending a clear signal
00:46that they cannot go in with 133 men
00:49deciding the future of the Catholic church without half of that Catholic church.
00:55They are going to talk about all sorts of issues.
00:57They will not talk about the ordination of women and priests.
00:59women priests and the equality of women.
01:02And I think they are for us. We are not allowed in there.
01:05We get arrested. The women's ordination...
01:07There is one man that I know for sure is inclusive of women,
01:12has tried his best to promote as many women as possible,
01:16who harbors a feeling of injustice at the exclusion of women.
01:21But if he ever went far enough to say women should have always been priests
01:28and what we have been doing is perpetuating a lie,
01:31he wouldn't have been made a cardinal
01:33and he wouldn't be sitting with these men now.
01:36This little thing, this little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine,
01:51let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
01:57This is a sin and a scandal. And so we are here, an international group of women's ordination
02:03advocates, lifting up pink smoke as a sign of hope that the church might quickly work to
02:09bring women in as equals in every part of the life of the church.
02:13Smoke can also be considered a distress signal and so our pink smoke is also a sign that the church
02:19needs to change quickly and that this is a really a tipping point moment and many women are looking
02:25at the conclave and the future of the church to see and asking themselves is there a place for me here.
02:30Let it rise, let it rise, let it rise, I'm gonna let it shine.
02:49Let it rise, let it rise.
03:11Let it rise, let it rise.
