The document proposes “to establish criteria and dispositions on the part of the competent authority... to ordain as priest suitable and esteemed men of the community, who have had a fruitful permanent diaconate and receive an adequate formation for the priesthood, having a legitimately constituted and stable family, to sustain the life of the Christian community.”  

These criteria, together with each individual paragraph of the text, was approved by a two-thirds vote of the synod’s voting members.
