In October, Catholic bishops from around the world gathered for a meeting, known as the synod, to discuss the future of the Church in the Amazon.
At the conclusion of that meeting, a document detailing issues affecting the Church was released. In it, there was a suggestion that in remote parts of the Amazon, older, married men should be ordained.
South American bishops have advocated this in an effort to address the shortage of priests in the region.
Pope Francis will consider it, along with many other proposals, including the environment and the role of women in the Church. He is expected to make a decision on the matter within the next few months.
Why is it controversial?
For many, celibacy is a key part of being a Catholic priest. A priest is supposed to be married to God and not be distracted by what some consider to be worldly concerns like a wife or a family.
For traditionalists, this is about the direction in which Pope Francis is taking the Church.
Some critics regard the idea of allowing married priests in the Amazon as a pretext to abolishing celibacy as a requirement altogether.

What's your take?

The more perfectly single, the better we are to God. Our Bodies are then Virgins and preserved for the exclusive bleeping of The Supreme Spirit. You now carry clean and unpoluted Messages to and from God. When you are married, no problem, but you remain Spiritually unreliable until you trade out of your situation by fasting, soberness and serious Prayers.
