CNA Newsroom, Aug 16, 2022 / 09:02 am (CNA). On Monday, the Swiss Bishops’ Conference published a document for the upcoming Synod on Synodality in Rome reporting the Catholic Church was seen as suffering from clericalism —as well as “denying equality to women” and excluding “people with LGBTQ identity.”
“Several official church positions on the role of women in church and society, on sexuality and lifestyles are perceived as pejorative and exclusionary,” the Swiss report said according to CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner.
“The Synodal Assembly of Switzerland, held on May 30, 2022, in Einsiedeln Abbey, finalized the report based on comments and requests for adjustments,” the bishops explained.
“This assembly had the task of combining the reports that emerged from the diocesan phase of the synod into an overall national report.”
The document says nothing about the number of participants in the surveys that were to be part of the worldwide synodal process.
In Germany, the “number of faithful who participated in the survey on the World Synod of Bishops in the dioceses” had been only “in the lowest single-digit percentage,” reported CNA Deutsch.
“In Switzerland, the debates and the synodal questionnaires raised awareness of the importance of baptism for the life of the Church,” the bishops said.
“It was emphasized that a synodal church increasingly recognizes ‘the royal, priestly and prophetic dignity and vocation’ of the baptized.”

Synod on Sexuality? WTF! The Bible explains what holy sexuality is.
Correct! Swiss bishops are genius.
Catholic Church excludes the LesboGayBiTrans Sexual Perversion Fascist Belief System. Their beliefs about sex are specifically condemned and considered sinful in the Bible and in Catholic tradition and teaching.
That group of sexual perverts has their own Gay Pride Month and other celebrations which have nothing to do with being a Catholic Man nor a Catholic Woman.
So what is the problem with that? Seems fine to me.
Here in Louisville, and I suppose everywhere, the synods are filled with whining dissenters. The Church has a hierarchical, not democratic structure. As John Paul one said: The truth is not determined by opinion polls.
And these Swiss bishops are not disciplined, because... why?
