WOMEN, LGBTQ, DIVORCEES: SWISS CATHOLICS WANT REFORMS IN THE CHURCH

Dare more synodality - and no discrimination against women, divorcees and queer people: This is the message the Swiss Church is sending to Rome.

Anyone expecting tough demands is likely to be disappointed when reading the Swiss final report. The tone is matter-of-fact, the wishes are well measured. This suits the Swiss tone, where people communicate less briskly than in the large canton of Germany.

Lay people may lead congregations, baptise children, marry couples

In the run-up to the conference, Felix Gmür, President of the Swiss Bishops' Conference, had already asked that the word "demands" be avoided - because Rome reacted allergically to it. No demands, but many wishes and suggestions are now being sent from the Rhine and Rhone to Rome.

Do these morons think the church is just another social club?

If you don’t like it, find one you like.

There's a surprise. The nation that was an early bastion of hard-core protestantism wants the Catholic Church to become just another protestant sect.

Europe is post-Christian. There's no reason for the rest of us to even listen to them anymore.

did they ask the opinions of those who are Catholic believers? How about the Latin mass community?

Essentially the synodality allows Marxist take over of the meetings to push their agenda.
