The synod was a process; the opinion of a synodal father was just that,
the opinion of a synodal father; and a first draft was merely a first
draft meant to record it all. Nobody mentioned homosexual marriage at
the synod, it did not cross our minds. What we did talk about was of how
a family with a homosexual child, whether a son or a daughter, goes
about educating that child, how the family bears up, how to help that
family to deal with that somewhat unusual situation. That is to say, the
synod addressed the family and the homosexual persons in relation to
their families, because we come across this reality all the time in the
confessional: a father and a mother whose son or daughter is in that
situation. This happened to me several times in Buenos Aires. We have to
find a way to help that father or that mother to stand by their son or
daughter. That´s what the synod addressed. That´s why someone mentioned
positive factors in the first draft. But this was just a draft.
Basically what he's saying is what the synod stated, that the church must follow the Catechism, which states that homosexuals are *disordered*
So when he states that the synod was trying to help parents who love their gay children and are trying to reconcile the churches stance verses parental love, they are suggesting the parents support church doctrine (seek help for their child's disorder)
Same old shit, different day and yeah, Pope Francis is as big a bigot as the rest of his church leaders.
