The document's original version was written in Italian, which Pope Francis directed to be used as the official language of the synod. There is no excuse for releasing poor translations in English when you have a wealth of English speakers available. Ping!

The translation excuse is getting pathetic.
Just look at the phrase, "The Italian original, after praising the gifts and talents homosexuals may give to the Christian community. . . "
They have NO good gifts to give to the Christian community. As Jesus said, "The Spirit gives life, the flesh is good for NOTHING." 1 Thess 4:1-8 clearly says they have rejected God.

An incorrect translation into English of the original midterm report of the Synod on the Family may have spurred controversial interpretations of the document itself.In Before The Pope Synod Was Mistranslated Again!

after praising the gifts and talents homosexuals may give to the Christian community"gifts" and "talents"?
NAMBLA is giving "gifts" to children out there I guess.

If all these things are always mistranslations...would it not stand to reason that at some point something would be mistranslated into something conservative?

Yeah, the dog ate their lunch. Maybe they should try Google Translate.

In the English translation provided by the Vatican, this is rendered as: “Are our communities capable of providing that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?” The key word “valutando,” which has sparked controversy within the Church, was translated by the Vatican as “valuing.”
Italian's “valutando” in fact means “evaluating,” and in this context would be better translated with “weighing” or “considering.”
This should quell the panic, but it probably won't.

In prior synods the official language had been Latin, esteemed for its precision and lack of ambiguity. So forget what is written by the Church. The Church must tell you what they REALLY meant.
