fisherman cardozo believes there's an obvious solution to the shortage of catholic priests in the amazon. with us the church should provide training to married men. and allow them to hold mass in the place of priests. it's a challenge to tradition but it has widespread support in the amazon region. the boat is about to set out from the harbor of santo dame father edgel barito may not look like a member of the clergy but he's one of the most senior priests in the region he swung to celibacy and tells us he's been celibate his anti-life. this trip to a remote congregation will take him at least 6 hours you spend much of the time in a hammock father reginald berto has also become critical of celibacy. trances has recognized that our congregations in the amazon need the help of married priests why should only change priests be allowed. this is a major issue in the church right now and i see it as a blessing. during the ride it becomes apparent what father edgel beto is talking about congregations are far apart travelling by boat takes a long time and the church struggles to find young people
