The Vatican has asked for gay men and women to be given a
chance in the catholic faith as they have gifts and qualities to
offer the church. This call was made in a document released
yesterday October 13th by the Vatican after a week-long
Synod (Council of a church, usually convened to decide an
issue of doctrine,) attended by about 200 bishops, who
deliberated and came up with the resolution contained in a
document which is known by its latino name "relatio",
"Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the
Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these
people, guaranteeing to them a further space in our
communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that
offers them a welcoming home," the document read..
The document also asked the Church to challenge itself to
find 'a fraternal space' for homosexuals without
compromising Catholic doctrine on family and matrimony.
