"Sparring continues as Catholic bishops prepare synod’s final report"
Josephine McKenna religionnews.com "As Catholic bishops attending the global Synod on the Family were drawing up their final report on Friday (Oct. 17), prominent cardinals continued to spar over the direction the church should take on key issues. Conservatives accused the synod of bias when a midterm report was released including a section 'welcoming homosexual persons' and English-speaking bishops took the unusual step of demanding a new version of the document substituting it with the words, 'providing for homosexual persons.' One cardinal reportedly threatened to walk out of the synod hall if changes were not made. On Friday, German Cardinal Reinhard Marx from Munich put homosexuality back on the agenda telling reporters'exclusion' was not part of the Catholic Church. 'For me it is unthinkable to say that a homosexual person cannot live with the gospel,' Marx said in German. 'Everyone who is in particular situations should be welcomed. Excluding someone is not part of church tradition.' The cardinal also reaffirmed that a majority of German bishops backed fellow German Cardinal Walter Kasper’s proposal to seek ways to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion." to read more: religionnews.com
