Bishops drop welcome to gays in sign of split at synod
Vatican bishops ended a two week meeting with no consensus on a revised paragraph welcoming gays and addressing homosexuals while affirming church teaching on marriage. The final report noted positive elements in civil unions but failed to pass the watered down gay section and related communion issues. Francis urged continued discussion at the next October gathering as conservatives and progressives clash over doctrine and mercy.
