The Provincial Executive of the Cono Sur failed to ratify the election of the Ven. Dr. Michael Pollesel as bishop-coadjutor for Uruguay. He did not receive the required consents from their House of Bishops.
The meeting took place this past week (May 21 to May 25) in Montevideo.
Pollesel previously had served the Anglican Church of Canada as its Secretary General. At the same time that Province promised its close cooperation with the diocese in its future decisions.
The diocese currently has female deacons and wants to proceed with the ordination of women priests but the province of the Southern Cone has not approved this step.
A source close to the situation told VOL that the issue of women priests and the liberal proclivities of Pollesel and his association with the ultra-liberal Anglican Church of Canada were deciding factors.
