Excerpt:

Sandro Magister, a Vatican expert at the Italian magazine L’Espresso, said that he was confident that allowing married priests in the Amazon would “open the door for other bishops’ conferences all over the world to allow married priests,” including in the heart of Europe. He said that German bishops, who have a strong liberal strain, would hold a synod on the same topic next year.–New York Times
