TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME A
October 19, 2014
It notes the varied cultural and religious context of families
around the world, where polygamy, “marriage in stages,”
arranged marriages, interreligious marriages, cohabitation,
divorce, children born outside of marriage, family violence, as
well as war can occur.
The pastoral challenge then, is “to accept people in their
concrete being, to know how to support their search, to encourage the wish for God and the will to feel fully part of the Church,
also on the part of those who have experienced failure or find
themselves in the most diverse situations.”

also heals, liberates and encourages growth in the
Christian life (Evangelii Gaudium, 169).
Listening
The first part of the document is titled: “Listening: The context
and challenges to the family.”
What did the bishops hear as they listened to the voices of
families?
“The most difficult test for families in our time is often solitude, which destroys and gives rise to a general sensation of
impotence in relation to the socio-economic situation that often
ends up crushing them,” according to the relatio. “This is due to
growing precariousness in the workplace that is often experienced as a nightmare.”
Civil marriages and cohabitation
This calls for a new pastoral practice that accepts “the reality of civil marriage and also cohabitation, taking into account
the due differences,” reads the document. “Indeed, when a
union reaches a notable level of stability through a public bond,
is characterized by deep affection, responsibility with regard to
offspring, and capacity to withstand tests, it may be seen as a
germ to be accompanied in development towards the sacrament of marriage.” This would not be true of cohabitations that
rule out any possibility of future marriage.
Page 3
TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME A
The synod wants to carry out its pastoral practice “with the
tenderness of a mother and the clarity of a teacher (cf.Epg 4,
15),” in imitation of the mercy of Christ. “The truth is incarnated
in human fragility not to condemn it, but to cure it.”
Important to this pastoral practice will be “the joyous testimony of spouses and families,” who will be key evangelizers
for couples before and after their marriages.
“It is necessary not to stop at an announcement that is
merely theoretical and has nothing to do with people’s real
problems. Pastoral practice is not merely about presenting a
set of regulations but about putting forward values, responding
to the need of those who find themselves today even in the
most secularized countries.”
The synod recognized the need for new pastoral paths in
dealing with divorced families. “Each damaged family first of all
should be listened to with respect and love, becoming companions on the journey as Christ did with the disciples of the road
to Emmaus.” The bishops realize that priests and laity need to
be trained to do this.
Annulments
The relatio reports that the annulment process was discussed and that “Various Fathers underlined the necessity to
make the recognition of cases of nullity more accessible and
flexible. Among the propositions were the abandonment of the
need for the double conforming sentence; the possibility of
establishing an administrative means under the responsibility
of the diocesan bishop; a summary process to be used in
cases of clear nullity.” Speeding-up the process “was requested by many.”
On the question of the readmission to Communion of
divorced and remarried Catholics, the document acknowledges
disagreements. “Some argued in favor of the present regulations because of their theological foundation, others were in
favor of a greater opening on very precise conditions when
dealing with situations that cannot be resolved without creating
new injustices and suffering.”
One suggestion was allowing readmission to Communion
following a “penitential path,” under the supervision of the local
bishop. Readmission “would not be a general possibility, but
the fruit of a discernment applied on a case-by-case basis,
according to a law of gradualness, that takes into consideration
the distinction between state of sin, state of grace and the
attenuating circumstances.”
Greater theological study is needed on these issues, admits
the bishops, “starting with the links between the sacrament of
marriage and the Eucharist in relation to the churchsacrament.”
“Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community: are we capable of welcoming these people,
guaranteeing to them a fraternal space in our communities?
Often they wish to encounter a church that offers them a welcoming home. Are our communities capable of providing that,
accepting and valuing their sexual orientation, without compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?
The question of homosexuality leads to a serious reflection
on how to elaborate realistic paths of affective growth and
human and evangelical maturity integrating the sexual dimension: it appears therefore as an important educative challenge.
The Church furthermore affirms that unions between people of
the same sex cannot be considered on the same footing as
matrimony between man and woman. Nor is it acceptable that
pressure be brought to bear on pastors or that international
bodies make financial aid dependent on the introduction of
regulations inspired by gender ideology.
Without denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions, it has to be noted that there are cases in which
mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious
support in the life of the partners. Furthermore, the Church
pays special attention to the children who live with couples of
the same sex, emphasizing that the needs and rights of the
little ones must always be given priority.”
The last sentence would seem to rule out denying Baptism or a
Christian education to same-sex couples.
On birth control, the bishops did not change teaching but
said, “Probably here as well what is required is a realistic
language that is able to start from listening to people and
acknowledging the beauty and truth of an unconditional
opening to life.”
Concluding remarks
The relatio concludes by noting that the document represents neither decisions nor simply points of view. Rather their
reflections “are intended to raise questions and indicate
perspectives that will have to be matured and made clearer by
the reflection of the local churches in the year that separates
us from the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of bishops planned for October 2015.”
However these discussions develop, it is clear that the
Church is embarking on them with a new pastoral style that is
more compassionate and affirming.
Have a blessed week,
Welcoming homosexual persons
This is the part of the document that received the most headlines. The following is the full version of the piece addressing
this sensitive issue.
