People should read this. Most of the cardinals didn’t want any discussion of homosexuality in the report. It was barely mentioned. It was put in by a liberal asst to the head of the committee that drafted the report. This is big news. No way in the world the Catholic Church flips 180 degrees on the act of sodomy and starts “valuing” positive aspects of depravity. Because there is none. And mentions children being raised by homosexuals, but Francis has called homosexual adoption the “work of the devil”. The Catholic Church is against homosexual adoption. This is the story is the liberal press should be reporting and the ass that put the language in the report should be sent packing. But he got the report out for all the world to see, packed for full lies about homosexuality that was barely mentioned in the first week of the Synod.

“The passage on homosexuality and homosexual “couples” of the Synod relatio is just so scandalous and absurdly opposed to everything the Church has always taught that its sole rational purpose must have been taking attention away from the main artificial debate, on communion for individuals in public state of mortal sin for adulterous relationships without valid confession (the so-called “communion for remarried divorcees”). Most interventions in the Synod Hall this Monday have reportedly been against this repulsive passage”

Well, if that is indeed big news, this should be even bigger news. Fr. Z says this same liberal asst to the head of the committee could be Pope Francis' choice to replace Mueller at CDF:

“The truly bizarre document that the Vatican released Monday”
...Similarly, an American journalist [Michael Voris!] raised a question about the absurd phrase in section 50: “Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community.” In one way, of course, this is true, since all people have gifts and qualities. The journalist wanted to know, however, whether the Synod fathers were saying that homosexuals have gifts to offer precisely because of their homosexuality? That seemed to be implied.
Sadly, more inconsequential commentary followed. [From Bruno Forte... who, under this Pope, will probably be the next Prefect of CDF if Müller is exiled.] The Synod has been talking a great deal about its respect for the intelligence of the Catholic laity. [Is that why they put a media quarantine around the Synod?] But no Catholic layperson of any intelligence left the press conference yesterday thinking that this subject – and several others – was anything other than more confused than ever and perhaps inclining towards things gay activists have been seeking that cannot be squared with the Gospel.

Hopefully Fr. Z's comment was just tongue in cheek gallows humor. I hope its not really a rumor in Rome. Too many of these nightmare rumors have come to pass in the last year and a half.
