Bishop: Amazon Synod Should Introduce Married Priests, Female Deacons

The 2019 Synod for the Amazon region should lead to the ordination of married men to the priesthood and of women to a female diaconate, retired [Modernist] Bishop Erwin Kräutler, 78, told kathpress.

Austria born Kräutler is the secretary of the Brazilian bishops’ conference. His main argument is an alleged “horrendous” shortage of priests.
