Vatican Synod On The Family Reveals Growing Catholic Divide Over Divorce And Homosexuality

Vatican meeting reveals growing Catholic divide over divorce and homosexuality,” by Anthony Faiola: “At one point during a major summit of the Roman Catholic hierarchy that will end this weekend, a senior conservative bishop took the floor inside the Vatican’s assembly hall and promptly charged his liberal peers with doing the devil’s work. The three-week gathering, known as a synod, has erupted into a theological slugfest over Pope Francis’s vision for a more inclusive church, displaying the most bitter and public infighting since the heady days of Catholic reform in the 1960s … It was just another day at a synod that — more than any single event since Francis began his papacy in 2013 — has highlighted the extent his outreach to once-scorned Catholics has triggered a tug-of-war for the soul of the Catholic Church. More important, it underscored just how hard it may be for the pontiff to recast the church he serves in his image.”
