Catholic Church To Ordain Married Men As Priests?

VATICAN CITY — On the heels of a landmark call by Amazon region bishops for married men to become priests, Pope Francis on Sunday exhorted Catholics to be open to fresh ways of evangelization, saying the church must "open new roads for the proclamation of the Gospel."

He also cautioned against self-righteousness, in an apparent slap at conservative critics who fear he is weakening the church's foundations.
