it is a big question for the catholic church should married men be allowed to become catholic priests well that's one of the controversial topics being debated at a 3 week summit at the vatican right now the meeting of bishops is focused on the amazon region home to several isolated catholic communities the proposed change to the celibacy rule for priests would allow older married men in such communities to be ordained. now the idea has outraged conservatives but in a part of the world where the church faces a chronic shortage of priests many say this is the only way. nelson cardoso is a devout catholic but at the moment he's not altogether happy with his church he's critical of the celibacy requirement. the woman says to look at every man needs a. pastas in the process than church have them. so catholic priests should be allowed to have them to look at them and we just didn't . know since church. has largely been abandoned the paint has faded and moisture has penetrated the walls children play in the place of worship deep in the amazon rain forest the priest in charge can only make r

aright, thank you so muchjd flynn, editor in chief of catholic news agency.. more protests in hong kong — as demonstrators defy a ban on face masks. hong kong's leader accuses them of destroying the territory. let's stay with that story now. ho—fung hung is professor of political economy atjohn hopkins university. he joins us from baltimore. thank you so much for your time. i just wonder, with hong kong we have been seeing the emergency powers coming in, we have been hearing about bans on people wearing face masks. the fact that these emergency powers have been triggered, what does that signal? i think that this is doctrine of the situation because the anti—facemask ban that establishment politicians have been talking about even before the protests 2014, 2016, but they're talking about passing a law in the legislative council. this time the key thing is that the government is using this emergency power to pass the law by decree, so it opens a precedent that the government thinks it can pass any law that it likes without going through the legislative council.

i can't speak for the catholic church, obviously.ation with this particular meeting, i think there are 35 senior females but none of them have voting rights was up when you see the big events in rome, it is banks and banks of men. women are almost completely written out of the picture. it is ludicrous! in this day and age. that is one of the established understandings of the church, that it is a male discipleship originate from the original disciples and it is going through with male lineage. that is only because the history was written by men. exactly. certain people in the amazon where women are lay ministers and they are holding services, so there is a it and the ologist ‘s are arguing for it and have four years. i think you have to go softly, softly. pope francis has a lot of conservatives in the church and because there are conservatives, you can't just change and because there are conservatives, you can'tjust change fast. i do have to say that the catholic church has evolved. it is doing slowly, it is better than nothing. i wou

how well are they welcomed by the roman catholic church? through friends of married roman catholic priests and to be fair, they've had a tremendous welcome in their ministry over many years. i have had an opportunity to see that and those are genuine and heartfelt welcome and those are genuine and heartfelt welco m e two and those are genuine and heartfelt welcome two married priests when that has happened in certain circumstances. if pope francis is trying to promote the idea of ordaining married men in the idea of ordaining married men in the amazon, where there is a shortage of clergymen, how does he reconcile that with the concerns of those conservatives within roman catholicism who don't want the exception to become the rule? well, as i say i am an anglican priest, very much formed within the catholic tradition, within anglicanism. and i think it is really a question of establishing what our priorities are. in the end, one needs to provide a mass on a regular basis. in the end, one needs to provide pastoral care. i obviously understand

catholic and protestant divide. both populations being catholic. best example would be daniel collins' family. the first great reform of the british parliament. the cons family was very well-to-do. that required a certain amount of keeping your head down, not attracting any negative attention from the authorities and playing the game successfully. they were not the only ones who achieved that kind of status. they were able to hang on to some of their wealth, their land and their privileges. part of the catholic majority suffered badly during the course of the century. most irish people, if you ask an --sh person to give me any 18thficant event in the century, hardly a single irish would name and event in the first 18 years of that century. there is nothing significant in that period. it was a low point for irish identity. the first date they might mention if they were reasonably 1782. well-informed was 1782 was six years after the american revolution. what happened in ireland after the american declaration? it was very interesting. you can see a co

if the catholic church wa nts to divorces. have any future edge needs to live in that the time it lives m, to live in that the time it lives in, that is to say priests need to be able to marry, like the anglicans. and he is thinking about the future as well, because last weekend he got to the stage when he appointed enough cardinals that they will ultimately choose his successor. it is one of the thing popes do, the appointment to the couege popes do, the appointment to the college of cardinals who enter the conclave to elect the next pope. it is also the current pope tries to shape this and ensure his legacy but of course john paul ii and put benedict tried to ship the college of cardinals and they were very different popes to francis, who elected pope francis does not necessarily work that way. this is a church that is usually important to so church that is usually important to so many people who are practising catholics and has huge political influence for those who are not, but also a church with many, you think of the sou

irish catholics were faced with the disabilities imposed on them by the penal laws, which prevented catholics from doing a lot of things. over a period of time, the laws were relaxed somewhat. dominateds completely by a relatively small percentage of the population. this was not unique. europe, people who didn't belong to the ruling class had a pretty miserable life you you are a central in the 17thsant century during the 30 year war. it's not that ireland was uniquely oppressed. difference bit of a in the sense there was a religious difference between the and the majority of the population, who were catholic in religion. that difference became a -- a dividing line that has really plagued us for the last several centuries. the greek decision went into catholicnd you have a partisan divide, both parts of the population being catholic. best example of this would be daniel collins family. , writing about catholic emancipation, the first great reform. the assembly were very well-to-do. that required a certain amount of keeping your head down, not attracting any negative basically playing the game

catholic bishops vote in favour of allowing married men to become priests breaking with catholic tradition of celibacy within the church. officials in california are warning that historically strong winds expected this weekend are likely to fan the destructive wildfires that have taken hold. a state of emergency has already been declared in los angeles and sonoma counties. chris buckler reports. in several parts of california, families have been forced to flee as wildfires have learned through thousands of acres of dry land and into residential areas. we get a knock on the door at 3am from the sheriffs telling us we needed to leave, and live now. the tick fire in los angeles county has already caused a huge amount of damage, but it's dwarfed in size by the kincaid fire, which has spread across the sonoma county wine region in northern california and now threatens homes in the san francisco bay area. 50,000 people there have been ordered to leave. we're evacuating because this fire is very dangerous. and it is expected to move towards healdsburg and windsor this evening. the winds that we a

refer to the modern age, what does it mean to catholics here ?hat there is celebration that cardinal newman, a brit, has been made a saint. it is the first brit to be canonised in over 50 years. i think they see cardinal newman and someone to look up to, a thoughtful person who wrote a great deal about faith and they find a very inspiring. in fact, faith and they find a very inspiring. infact, people faith and they find a very inspiring. in fact, people who are catholics might know him because he wrote the words of a great piece of music by elgar. hymns have been taken from that. it is notjust the writings though it is the life that he led. he was a very pastoral figure did a lot for very poor people. he was an intellectual but there was a lot more to him than that and that is what people are recognising tomorrow. catherine, thank you very much indeed. there's a warning that parents' chatter at the school gates has become a ‘breeding ground' for harmful myths about the safety of vaccinations against conditions like measles. nhs england chief simo

this could fundamentally change how the catholic church is run?ave come over. the unique thing about this is ina over. the unique thing about this is in a specific region, in order to serve the needs of the people who maybe don't see a priest for a year or two, could ordaining some elders, could that be a way of serving the people? ultimately this is not meant to bea people? ultimately this is not meant to be a doctrine. it is not about changing beliefs, ultimately. it is about pastoral practice, how we can serve the people. there isn't anything within the original catholic doctrine about celibacy for priests. that came later with pope gregory? yeah, it became something... the gift of celibacy started on the 11th century. we had it in the beginning. christ himself was celibate. that was by choice, wasn't it? yeah, many of the disciples and apostles and those who came afterwards have this practice. the point is that we ought not to just change and have married priest for the sake of it. there are other christian combinations that have had christian

caught up with cardinal monks and asked him whether the catholic church what the catholic church could do to influence populous leaders such as the brazilian president jaya ball sinatra. well i think soon isn't world assemblies like this kind of effect change. and i heard that the government in brazil reacted a little bit nervously before and. at least it took a good look at what will be happening at the senate because the bishops from the amazon region will be speaking there. and they've already spoken they've spoken for the indigenous people whose livelihoods will be taken away if this forest were to be cleared and turned into a prairie. so it's a step of it i believe a world assembly like this folks is the attention more intensely on the amazon region and on the question of climate change and the possibilities of limiting climate change. there are essentially 2 questions here on the one hand the party or question of policy related to environmental issues and that's one which actually this poll is very adamant about what sort of the position of the church by and large should be there

earlier on i spoke to catherine pepinster, the former editor of the catholic weekly and the tablet.ong and very interesting life. he began life as an anglican, a member of the church of england, a priest. he was an academic, a fellow at oxford. he decided, through many years of thought and troubled thought, that he should leave the church of england and become a catholic, which was controversial at the time in the victorian age. he lost friends. he lost the friendship of relatives even. but his canonisation tomorrow recognises that he was a very holy person, he was dedicated to god and to his fellow man. he was an author of many, many books but he was also a priest and then eventually became a cardinal and ministered to the poor of birmingham. i imagine birmingham will be celebrating this day tomorrow. the decision that is arrived at here, how is that made? and who makes the ultimate call on something like this? there is a great deal of investigation that goes on, looking at a person's life and the person's writing, seeking all kinds of evidence. but the catholic church also require

because catholics were not reading the bob - - the bible like the protestants. it is like two pairs of gloves you had the teaching but everything was in latin. with the vatican did was get back to the gospel until the nuns go back to the reason we were founded in the first place. that was to have a life of prayer, be close to god, go out and pope francis was calling the church today. that is what christianity ought to be. and nobody took that more seriously. we started running and i will tell you that and it changed our lives so what is the spirit of god calling me to do and then we began to blossom but it was a big struggle i went lighter than a mystic if i could you know teresa was levitating in the kitchen. [laughter] and then say not lord - - not now lord. i could tell you some stories. [laughter] who was kneeling behind me in the chapel and she is meditating trying to descend deeply into prayer and then i hear click with the fingernails click. how are you going to be a mystic when that's going on behind you? [laughter] so i can tell you stories. 's the stru

but the catholic church also requires there to be miracles, for somebody to have prayed, asking thisf a particular illness. there was one miracle for cardinal newman which led to his beatification, which is the state before full canonisation. then there was another one which caused the pope to decide he should be a saint. there are many people in rome conducting these studies. you mentioned what people in birmingham might think but more broadly when a decision like this is taken, and i refer to the modern age, what does it mean to catholics here? i think that there is celebration that cardinal newman, a brit, has been made a saint. it is the first brit to be canonised for nearly 50 years. i think catholics here regard cardinal newman as someone to look up to, a thoughtful person who wrote a great deal about faith and they find that very inspiring. in fact, people who aren't catholics might know him because he wrote the words of a great piece of music by elgar. and certain hymns have been taken from that. it is notjust the writings, though, it is the life that he led. he was a very pa

[laughter] the irishman finds himself in a bar and suddenly a fight breaks out a tv fight of people breaking chairs overheads and the irishman asks the bartender is this a private fight or can anyone join in? [laughter] so i feel like i am in the middle of a privateri fight that is going on but in the spirit i will join in. [laughter] i want to start by saying something about trump since it is about conservativism in the age of donald trump. there has never been a trumpent like donald for good or ill. but the situation conservatives find themselves .n is not so unprecedented in many ways the situation resembles t that of the 19 fifties when bill buckley was astounding national review in the conservative modeew movement we have forgotten that one of the major crusades and its origins from 1955 over the next half decade was a concentrated attack on dwight eisenhow
