found stabbed robbery suspected By PATRICK O'KEEFE VATICAN CITY (AP)-Mid-way through their world synod Roman Catholic bishops appeared likely Friday to uphold the 15-century-old tradition of celibacy for priests of the dominant Western religion The 209 delegates may narrowly pass a proposal to let the Pope and Vatican decide when and where to allow a limited number of exceptions to the celibacy rule This however would conform with past practice: The Vatican already has allowed a few Protestant pastors who converted to Catholicism to function as priests and keep their wives Shaping up as conservative by consensus the synod also has shown scant support for engaging in politics cr taking part-time Jobs It has provided no backing for demands by thousands of priests for a choice between marrying and remaining single Currently priests who want to marry must give up their ministry A weathervane report by Vincente Cardinal Enrique Tara neon of Spain released Friday said: majority holds that ordaining married men would not only fail to be a solution of fundamental problems but would rather bring about other and more serious problems into the report added that the majority feared a dual priesthood with celibate and married members would result in and second-class The report was meant to reflect discussion heard on the synod floor in the first two weeks of the month-long session
