The Dicastery of Bishops, also known as the Congregation for Bishops, is the pope's immediate advisory council in evaluating the performance of clergy. The dicastery offers reports and assessments for would-be bishops before turning the final decision over to the pope.
"Two women will be appointed for the first time in the committee to elect bishops in the Congregation for Bishops," Pope Francis told Reuters in a July 2 interview.
