Description

The October 2014 session of the Synod of Bishops looked at the modernfamily through a pastoral lens, focusing in particular on situations wherethere seemed to be a conflict between church doctrine and pastoral need.Two subjects rose to prominence: the situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual ortransgender persons and the situations of Catholics whose marriage hasfailed and who have later remarried.In this contribution to the Synod scheduled for October 2015, BishopGeoffrey Robinson contends that "if the second session of the Synod is tofind answers, it must first look seriously at the church teachings involvedto see whether they might allow some 'room to move' in finding pastoralsolutions." That is what he offers here.
