This was what the Amazon synod struggled with and made suggestions about to the pope. He made the decision not to make a decision. This is because his logic of evangelisation demands inculturation, and, thus, synodalisation. The decision will therefore, in the not too distant future, be made in this very context of the Amazon. This will make priesthood more "colourful". As a consequence, in other local churches, too, things will "not remain quiet" (Bischof Franz Josef Bode). |
