Pope Francis has placed a request for Brazilian priests to be allowed to marry on the agenda of a forthcoming Synod on the Amazon region, Vatican sources told Il Messaggero. From the beginning it was clear that the Amazon Synod is only a pretext.
With the usual single-case tactic Francis took the decision to put a "partial lifting" of priestly celibacy up for discussion and a possible vote by Brazilian bishops. It followed a request by Modernist Cardinal Claudio Hummes who asked Francis to consider ordaining married men.
This means that Francis will again prefer an unthought change of external structures to a true reform of the Church.

Concerned priests and bishops were talking about the Protestantization 50 years and more ago. Their concerns were mocked and dismissed.
