Women Bishop Controversy

The National Commission of Women's controversial push for abolishing the practice of "confessions" in churches sparked a huge row on Friday with Kerala's top Catholic Church body complaining to Prime Minister Narendra Modi against the "shocking" statement and wondering if there was a hidden "agenda" behind the recommendation.

The Church of England appointed its first ever female bishop on Wednesday, overturning centuries of tradition in a Church that has been deeply divided over the issue.

After much debate and controversy,the Church of England has decided to allow women to become bishops in the next two years, but traditionalists who opposed the landmark decision say it will lead to many people leaving the church.
