Much Catholic media attention has focused upon the final document of
the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazonian
Region, with its newsworthy recommendations about the possible
ordination of married men and reopening the conversation of ordaining
women as deacons (and, incidentally, ignoring many of the other
substantive sections in the document about cultural, ecological, and
ecclesial conversion to a greater living out of the Gospel in the
region…). Everyone wonders what Pope Francis will do with the synod’s
recommendations, as we anxiously await his post-synodal apostolic
exhortation.
