The Synod’s final report is a victory for liberals on homosexuality – here’s why

The truth of the Catholic Church regarding homosexuality is so far removed from the mainstream media’s debates over same-sex “marriage” it is nearly impossible to achieve an accurate reading of the Synod’s final document (Relazione Finale) without an in depth understanding of the Church’s teaching in this regard...

...However, all of that language is missing from the Synod’s final document. The war over language in the Synod hall was all about getting rid of clear language condemning homosexuality and other sins, and the liberals have achieved their goal in the final document. Gone are references to even the sinfulness of homosexual acts let alone that they are “intrinsically disordered” and that the inclination even though not sinful is itself “objectively disordered.”

Surprising to many will be the fact that the Catechism never even mentions gay “marriage.” That is simply because the opposition to it flows from those essential teachings about the gravely sinful nature of homosexual acts. Without the basic understanding that such acts are so harmful that they can lead to eternal separation from God, there is no absolute basis for opposing homosexual relationships. And that is exactly what is missing in the Relazione Finale even though it does rule out gay "marriage."

The Catechism never even mentions gay marriage because it is such a ridiculous concept. Nobody before the homosexuals brought it up even thought of it. It is a stupid concept that two men or two women would even want to get married. What’s the use?

No man made report will have victory of any sort. Only God will have the final say on this.

Things are not what someone decides to “say” they are It is what it is - and THAT is determined by God.

The catholic church is dying in western countries. When my mother died over a quarter century ago, it marked the last time anyone in my family was associated with this monstrosity.
