Clarification: Yesterday, Pope Francis said at the Synod on the Family, that “Catholic doctrine on marriage was never put in discussion by last year’s Synod.” He also asked “not to reduce the themes of the Synod to Communion for remarried divorcees.”
Plenty Of Reasons: Catholic columnist Patrick Archbold sees plenty of reasons to suspect that Francis “wants the heretical innovators to prevail.” He remembers the selection of Cardinal Kasper to deliver the preparatory speech in February 2014 that put the question of communion for adulterers front and center. According to Archbold since then, Francis has not changed his course.
Discussion: Pro-homosex and pro-divorce Munich Cardinal Marx revealed to La Reppublica that homosexuality will be at the center of a specific discussion at the Synod. Quote: “This is an important topic.” Marx admitted that there is little interaction between the liberal Cardinals and the Catholic Cardinals.

@Abamo: I wish you would read a content and if you disagree argue against THE content, not go astray ending in insult that reveal your anti-American prejudices (and I would surmise ignorance). A comment or two about th killing a lot of people. On the battle field between armies such killing is NOT an act of "slaughter".

1.Both the German Wehrmacht and the US armies did non-slaughter killings in battle (indeed, the Wehrmacht always killed more opponents then they lost, even if thy lost the battle). However, when the Americans took Aachen, Köln and hundreds of other cities and villages, the American soldiers following orders did not round of Germans and shoot them wholesale. The Wehrmacht did do such killing and that illicit killing is "slaughter". In fact the illicit killing contributed to the opposition to Hitler ending in Stauffenberg's attempt on Hitler's life, such attempt could have killd a lot of people, but it would not have been slaughter. The nation that "slaughtered" Russians was Germany, i.e., estimated 25+ million Russians (perhaps 6+ million of whom were soldiers) were killed by German armies. German armies, after taking villages, rounded up Slaves and Jews and shot them dead. The Germans "slaughtered" 6 million Jews and up to 10 million other peoples in the camps. So, from the stand point of slaughter-"killing", the Germans outdid all, Russians, Americans and Japanese combined. You are factually off base re your accusation against Americans in WW II and neck-deep in calumny with your evaluation of Americans during WWII. You changed subject and that switch allows you to slip out of the contentious discussion by changing it.

2. Here we have the shifting-gears of your argument. My argument was aimed at what I call underreporting plus prejudicial language the Gloria.tv puts forth on occasions e political matters. Then the attack upon America, and there I find myself offended and provoked. In reality, I basically agree with the Bishop in Syria and recognize that he must seek protection from a man who has had a vicious dictatorship for decades, an Alawite minoirity tryannizing a Sunni majority. The revolt was first started by plain citizens, not by radical groups. Assad turned his military loose on his "own" people, using gas and still using barrel bombs -- and not just at fighters, rather aimed at unarmed people, men, women and children. From this point on organized and, alas, radical resistance developed. The massive attack upon helpless citizens justifies the designation of "slaughter". It is immaterial to the case of Assad if other acts of slaughter elsewhere have taken place (such as Putin's massive and murderous attacks upon Chechenians). What I would like from Gloria and anyone else is a larger contextualization and the cessation of underhanded anti-Americanisms. Most importantly, I see no point in getting all too political for a website interested primarily in religous matters. Alas, at any rate, you did not address the specifics of my complaints. If I were a young man and militarily trained I would do what some ex-American soldiers are doing, i.e., fighting withe Kurds or trying to organize Christian resistance. And you? (That was an ad hominem on my part directed at you.)
