 | | Just to make the point that church debates often continue long after meetings try to settle them, two cardinals have joined Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, Georgia, in suggesting that questions given clear answers in the recently concluded Synod of Bishops may in fact still be open. |
 | | 19 interview with NCR, Gregory said that in the synod "the status quo held" on the ordination of viri probati, or tested married men, because the group could not find consensus, but Gregory left open the possibility that individual bishops or bishops' conferences could still raise the issue. |
 | | NCR previously reported Oct. 17 that at least four of the 12 small language groups -- two of the English groups, a French group, and the German group -- in the synod called for further study on the viri probati. |
