Vatican Warming Towards Gay and Divorced Catholics

Vatican Warming Towards Gay and Divorced Catholics - newser.com

Excerpt from this article:

"The Vatican, in the latest sign that this is not your daddy's Catholic Church, appears to be opening its arms to gay and divorced Catholics, urging its priests to make 'courageous pastoral choices' that are inclusive to a bevy of family models outside the traditional one. The shift is part of a rough-draft report coming out of a two-week synod aimed at familial issues, reports the New York Times, and the bishops gathered are advising that the Church do things like find 'positive aspects of civil unions and cohabitation' and embrace 'those who participate in (the Church's) life in an incomplete and imperfect way, appreciating the positive values they contain rather than their limitations and shortcoming.'"
