(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, FEBRUARY 7 - The expected Pope's document at the conclusion of the Synod on the Amazon is ready and will be published on February 12. The Apostolic Exhortation will be called "Querida Amazonia" and will be the final fruit of the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon Region which is held in October 2019. Great expectations for what Pope Francis will decide on priestly celibacy (and if he will decide to discuss the topic ). In the final document of the bishops he asked to consider the possibility of priestly ordination of married men, permanent deacons, given the scarce presence of priests in the vast area. At Papaspetta the last word and it will be seen, next week, whether the matter has been incorporated into the document or not. Among the more delicate others there are those relating to the diaconate of women and the possibility of having an Amazonian ritoliturgical in the Catholic Church. As also, with the Pope's document, 'ecological' sins could be introduced.
