At the October 10 Amazon Synod’s presser, Henao explained that this "rite" consisted in "indigenous leaders" placing "a crown on the deacon’s head.”
According to Henao, the "crown" is a symbol for a man "acquiring the wisdom of the people and sharing it with the community.” However, sacramental ordination is not about acquiring "wisdom of the people."
After some dancing, a second Novus Ordo ordination followed and then a Eucharist. Henao believes that it is "essential" to assimilate some native values and to incorporate elements from their [pagan] rituals, “We cannot stigmatise everything, there are the myths, the rituals.”
Henao was chosen and consecrated a bishop by then Columbia nuncio Ettore Balestrero who later incurred some problems.
