Catholic bishops are entering their final week of debate over hot-button issues facing young Catholics, including how the church should welcome gays and respond to the clerical sex abuse scandal that has discredited many in the church hierarchy.
The month-long synod of bishops ends next Saturday with the adoption by the 260-plus cardinals, bishops and priests of a final document and approval of a separate, shorter letter to the world’s Catholic youth.
Some of the youth delegates to the meeting have insisted that the final document express an inclusive message to make LGBT Catholics feel welcome in a church that has often shunned them.
The Vatican took a step in that direction by making a reference to “LGBT” for the first time in its preparatory document heading into the meeting.
But some bishops have balked at the notion, including Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput, who insisted in his speech that “there is no such thing as an ‘LGBTQ Catholic’ or a ‘transgender Catholic’ or a ‘heterosexual Catholic,’ as if our sexual appetites defined who we are.” …

Fake News. Robert Royal has been reporting from the Youth Synod every day and said maybe one of the youth groups wants the group to change its doctrine on sodomy. Royal goes on to say that 99.9% of the Youth groups want the truth of the gospel and want the church to get back to speaking the truth, not caving to popular culture.

I get it. In your heart you know I'm right, but you're not ready to accept it.
In my heart I am and you are wrong.
Give it up, you are done.
This is the last post from me.
Amen.
No, it's the catholic church that's done. As in, stick a fork in it. Homosexuals and pedophiles have won. Accept it or #WalkAway.
