Bishop Erwin Kr\u00e4utler of the Diocese of Xingu, the geographically largest diocese in Brazil, has called for a poll<\/a> of all the world\u2019s Catholic bishops on the question of who may be ordained. Kr\u00e4utler states that the issues raised in the Austrian Pastor\u2019s Initiative<\/a> concern not merely Europe, but the entire Church. Kr\u00e4utler is originally from Austria. In his Brazilian diocese there are 30 priests for 900 communities with 600,000 people.<\/p>\n

In an interview in a Salzburg newspaper<\/a> yesterday he said, \u201cThe question arises whether people don\u2019t have a right to the celebration of Mass on Sundays. I say: Yes, they have a right. In the spirit of the Council, the Church must come up with a plan. I will certainly not say what, but I do say that we must begin to discuss this seriously\u2026 The question cannot be brushed aside any more, but presently everything is at a standstill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bishop Kr\u00e4utler does not consider a gathering of bishops in Rome to be the appropriate means. He thinks it would make more sense to poll all the bishops of the entire world. \u201cWhat is your opinion, what do you think of this, what do your people say? Talk to the priests, the religious, the laity. Have a meeting and formulate your opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bishop believes that the \u201cpulse of the universal Church\u201d should be taken, and taken seriously. \u201cWe believe that the Spirit of God is with all of us, not just with one person.\u201d He advocates forming some sort of committee after the polling, \u201cwith the Pope and under the Pope,\u201d which would see whether there is need for a new council or some other representative plenary assembly.<\/p>\n

Bishop Kr\u00e4utler spoke also about younger priests in Brazil today. \u201cThere are young priests who are very pious and contemplative, but at the same time are so at the service of their people that I truly rejoice in them.\u201d But there are others \u201cwho are happy to represent the institution.\u201d They are happy \u201cbecause their status is emphasized so strongly in the new movements.\u201d He added, \u201cBut the others who come from liberation theology, these the people truly esteem. That is the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
