The Catholic Church in Latin America might need a different kind of priest.
According to a May 17 article from the Catholic News Service, the recent changes in Latin America might mean the church needs fundamental changes.
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras says the church needs new kinds of disciples that can respond adequately to situations in Latin America.
Bishops participating in the Fifth General Conference of the Bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean, going on now, will have a chance to address any changes they can make to better fit their countries’ political, economic and social situations.
Church leaders hope the conference will lead to “a renewal of mission” in the region.
