Outreach to gay couples not on agenda for Vatican meeting

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - A working paper for a major Vatican meeting on the family this autumn indicated on Tuesday that organizers do not want the issue of how the Church should reach out to homosexual couples to be a key topic.

Gay rights activists had hoped the working document, the final one before the October meeting, might resurrect at least some of the conciliatory language on the pastoral care of gay couples that surfaced during a preparatory meeting last year.

The keenly awaited gathering of world bishops, or synod, will be held at the Vatican October 4-25. Its preparations have been peppered with debate about possible reforms, particularly on issues concerning gays and divorced Catholics.

No shock there. All hat no cattle.

But he drives his own car! And is giving away all the Vatican's money!
(Or did I imagine that one? Easy to lose track of reality when you get caught up in the general rush to declare this sad little bigot Greatest. Human. Ever)
