Bishops distance from gay overture at Vatican synod
Conservative Catholic bishops distanced themselves from a working paper at the Vatican synod on family life that urged welcoming gays and divorced people. They said the document did not reflect church teaching and would be amended, while others defended the broader vision of the synod. Cardinal Gadecki called it unacceptable, Napier warned it did not reflect the synod as a whole, and Cardinal Burke claimed media manipulation of the report.
