It means that this statement is a non-Magisterial working paper for use only in the early stages of this synod, which itself is only a preliminary synod with a few bishops to next years main synod which at which almost all the bishops will attend. It is NOT a final declaration, only some of the questions that particular bishops have asked. You can be sure that many other bishops will weigh in before this is all said and done, The Polish bishops and others have already come out in strong disagreement. There’s a long way to go on this. People need to stay of the ledge and stay calm.
The pro-gay bishops know they haven’t won. But the issuance of this document in this manner (it was given to reporters without having been seen by the “conservatives”) is a way to get the message out to millions of people that can now go to Communion in the state of mortal sin.
Cardinal Wuerl, the most notorious homosexual in the American hierarchy, has been pushing this lie for years, by insisting that Nancy Pelosi and other pro-aborts MUST be given Communion. Now he’s enthusiastically pushing for Communion for gay couples and adulterous couples.
Of course, Wuerl has ALWAYS promoted Communion for unchaste homosexuals. He continued “Dignity Masses” in Pittsburgh for NINE YEARS after the Vatican (Cardinal Ratzinger, in fact) definitively mandated that they cease.
The most notorious homosexual in the American hierarchy is riding high right now. He is a favorite of the Pope, whose own diocese in Buenos Aires was a shambles, where Communion was given out like candy to shacked-up couples.
