There will also be two Chinese bishops, including Bishop Joseph Yang Yongqiang, former vice-president of the Chinese Patriotic Communist Association.
Cardinal Ladaria, former Prefect of the CDF, won’t attend at his own request.
About 360 homosexualists will vote, including about 50 women. 120 of the delegates were personally selected by Francis. There are 75 non-voting members. The Synod is a mere debating club without theological authority.
