Synod's Small Groups: Majority Wants Married Priests, Female Deacons
The reports of the Amazon Synod’s small groups were published on Vatican.va (October 18). Their positions concerning celibacy and female deacons are:
Italian A is against celibacy and for women as lectors and acolytes, does not mention a female deaconate.
Italian B says nothing about celibacy and female deacons.
Portuguese A is for abolishing celibacy and for a female deaconate, quotes the heretic Father Hans Küng on peace among religions.
Portuguese B calls abolishing celibacy “necessary,” wants female deacons because last Council's arguments in favour of married deacons apply now [allegedly] to women.
Portuguese C waffles randomly about “possibilities regarding the deaconate, viri probati, women, married priests.”
Portuguese D calls for “further maturing and thoughts” on abolishing celibacy and introducing female deacons.
Spanish A produced a boring long text about leadership responsibilities for women avoiding the term “deaconate”. No call to abolish celibacy.
Spanish B wants further studies about female deacons and wishes to abolish celibacy "in exceptional cases."
Spanish C calls it “possible” to produce female deacons and “important” to abolish celibacy.
Spanish D "promotes" abolishing celibacy and producing female deacons.
Spanish E wants a non-sacramental female diaconate.
French/English says nothing about abolishing celibacy or female deaconate and underlines that the Church is “not Greenpeace.”
