They not only want to "accept" it, but "VALUE their sexual orientation"....!!
I have always respected the Catholic Church and its adherence to God’s Word, but if this is true, then I’m glad this day I am not a Catholic. I feel for any member who have just had the world rocked.
Valuing a person is radically different from valuing the perversion they are struggling with. This is amazing.
not sure where this is in the “tradition” catholics claim to have to guide them.
Catholics have gone insane.
A big.... WOW!
So are they saying that homosexual behavior is no longer sinful???
John Thavis, a former Rome bureau chief for Catholic News Service.
This is CNN !
Thavis is a journalist. And it sounds like he opposes the proposal.
In other news, the Pope nominates The Prophet Mohammed for sainthood. Film at 11.
And before it came out Humanae Vitae was going to allow Catholics to use contraception. Except it didn’t. Probably what is going on is that the dissenters are getting their talking points out so the can ignore what actually comes out of the synod. (Which may be nothing. The Pope doesn’t have to issue any binding proclamation, unless he wants to.
CNN...could be optimistic hyperventilating. I’ll wait for the document.
If the Church, even through pastoral guile or linguistic gymnastics, promotes the sentiment of the article you post - there will be schism.
As a Catholic I am deeply saddened by the Synod. I can’t expound further.
The Catholic Church won’t rid themselves of the Kennedys or Nancy Pelosi, why shouldn’t they welcome homosexuals if it is so willing to accept wealthy apostates to church doctrine?
I thought it was that Synod's mid-term report
Homosexuality is an abomination. No moral person can accept it or value it. No moral person can promote it to vulnerable young people and tell them that they should accept and value homosexual sex.
Here’s what coming......
FIRST ‘openly gay’ priest!
Then he’ll say....
“IF gays can receive the Sacrament of Communion why can’t they receive the Sacrament of Matrimony”.
The ‘slippery slope’ has begun.
This is a rumor of a rumor, propagandized by CNN.
If by 'revolutionary' he means that it sets the church against its own teachings and its own adherents, then he's right.
The Catholic church routinely puts their inane traditions before God's Word. This will be no different.
A majority of Catholic clergy is hopelessly socialist and has been for many decades. The homo issue is just the latest before which that clergy will bend the knee. Abortion is next.
Millions of Protestants have left their mainline churches and joined Evangelical churches once they realized that the mainliners were apostate.
What will Catholics do?
This is a mid-Synod report.
The report includes proposals that has been made by the more liberal elements of the Catholic Church at the Family Synod.
The synod is not supposed to reach any definitive conclusions, but set the agenda for a larger world synod to be held Oct. 4-25, 2015, which will make recommendations to the pope.
The Catholic Church is huge. It cannot but help have some leadership that has a leftist agenda. So the leftists make a leftist proposal. The report on the Synod includes the leftist proposals. It includes all the proposals.
This isn’t the first time that these nuttty ideas have been proposed.
This is just CNN making more out of the situation than is really there.
I am Catholic, and I will wait to react. This is CNN after all.
I’ll wait for the full story come out, and not just the rumors.
