VATICAN CITY (AP) — Catholic bishops from across the Amazon called
Saturday for the ordination of married men as priests to address the clergy shortage in the region, an historic proposal that would upend
centuries of Roman Catholic tradition....
Some conservatives and traditionalists have
warned that any papal opening to married priests or women deacons would
lead the church to ruin. They accused the synod organizers and even the
pope himself of heresy for even considering flexibility on mandatory
priestly celibacy.
They vented their outrage
most visibly this week when thieves stole three indigenous statues
featuring a naked pregnant woman from a Vatican-area church and tossed
them to into the Tiber River.
Imagine that ... "heresy" in this day and age.
