I don’t know about the Pope. I pray for him every time this kind of thing comes out. Like renting out the Sistine Chapel to Porsche(got to read the story on that)
But here is what the article states, the reading of which, on FR, with Catholicism stories, is just not required. So I take comments very lightly
What the article states is, and which synchs with jimmy Akins version - link below- that the synod rejected with a strong pushback, not only the ideas of liberal minded clergy but renounced the press in erroneously reporting, right here in this story under the misleading headline
It can also be interpreted, though I’m not expecting it to be, here on this ‘delighted when the pope is liberal’ site, that the Pope said to the bishops, ‘these new ideas are rejected, not because they’re new, as God is not afraid of new things, but because they are not compatible with church teaching’
He also beatified Pope Paul VI at the end. Pope Paul VI published/ wrote Humanae Vitae - which was rejected by the clergy primarily by Jesuits and all cafeteria Catholics since 196(8?), when it came out, and which states that birth control is inherently evil, will lead to massive family breakup,wide addiction to pornography, anti femininity/motherhood -feminism, abortion, and acceptance of gender bending, homosexuality and use of pornography, along with immodesty in women
And the Pope declared him to be holy and likely in heaven as a saint at the end of this conference- a man whose teachings are rejected by liberals
Ok?

This reuters article we are commenting on:
The working session of the gathering ended on Saturday night with a final document that reversed a historic acceptance of gays by the Church made just a week earlier — a result some progressives see as a setback for Francis. “God is not afraid of new things. That is why he is continuously surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways,” the pope said.
At the Mass, he beatified Pope Paul VI, who died in 1978, bringing the pontiff best known for concluding the ground-breaking reforms of the Second Vatican Council and enshrining the Church’s ban on contraception a step closer to sainthood.
My second comment is why does Pope Francis continually issue vague statements that provide no benefit or moral guidance whatsoever to sincere Catholics but encourage the MSM in their pro homosexuality campaign.
My third comment is why does the Pope refer to homosexuality as a “new thing” when clearly it is not. If Pope Francis is not referring to homosexuality why does he make it sound like he is.
And finally, why would the Pope say “God is not afraid of new things”. There is nothing new to God. It is another vague, almost incoherent statement that benefits no one.
