Catholic Bishops Won’t Approve Plans To Welcome Gay Members

At the end of a two week Catholic Bishop meeting called by the Pope to discuss ‘family issues’ in the Catholic Church, Bishops were unable to approve plans to welcome gay members to the fold.

At the synod ended, the welcoming tone of acceptance had been stripped away and replaced by a paragraph, which describes homosexuality as a 'problem' Catholic families have to deal with.

The revised paragraph referred to homosexuality as one of the problems Catholic families have to deal with. 

It reads 'people with homosexual tendencies must be welcomed with respect and delicacy,' but repeated church teaching that marriage is only between man and woman.
