The Catholic Church has opened debate on whether to allow married men to be ordained as priests in the remote areas of the Amazon.
In some isolated South American communities, Catholics can go for weeks or months without attending Mass or participating in the sacrament of confession due to a shortage of priests. The historic ordainment shift, proposed in a Vatican document published today, could also see the start of an"official ministry" for women in the area.
The document said officials should study"the possibility of priestly ordination for older men, preferably indigenous and respected and accepted by their communities, even if they have stable families, for the region's most remote areas." Pope Francis, the first ever Latin America pontiff, has previously focused attention on the sacramental and environmental plight of Amazonian communities.In an interview with a German newspaper in 2017, he said he was willing to consider ordaining"viri probati" - Latin for men of proven character - as priests in isolated communities.
My imaginary friend let's that happen anyway, why not the popes?
