\n\u201cI am not against, but skeptical of, the idea of ordaining married men, or \u201cviri probati\u201d to the priesthood. Firstly because there are no catechists or deacons in the Amazon. I believe we should propose these figures before discussing \u201cviri probati\u201d for communities in remote areas.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

\n\u201cOne renounces one of the most beautiful values for man, to have a wife and form a family, in order to belong completely to Christ, to serve Him and to be a minister of His Word.\u201d<\/em> \u201cThis has unparalleled evangelizing potential. The Latin Church is more missionary than any other church because this reality that it lives, albeit not always perfectly, and transmits to cultures.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n
