In a new papal interview, Pope Francis cast doubt on the Catholic teaching prohibiting practicing homosexuals and the divorced and 're-married' from Holy Communion.
The Irish report for the diocesan stage of the Synod on Synodality emphasized calls for changes to the Church's definitive teaching on a number of doctrinal and moral matters, while downplaying requests to restore authentic teaching and traditional liturgy.
The Pope skipped over higher ranking prelates in the U.S. in appointing Bishop Robert McElroy to the College of Cardinals, despite the bishop's record of support for giving Communion to both pro-abortion Catholic politicians as well as the divorced and 'remarried.'
The Pope appears to think it is problematic for the children to observe a parent refraining from receiving Communion who is manifestly in an adulterous relationship.
An article on the bishops' website describes worship services with rituals that include passing around a baking pan with frozen water and ripping a curtain at the church door.
Chapter eight of Pope Francis's Amoris Laetitia allows for interpretations that undermine or even contradict perennial Catholic doctrine on sex and marriage.
