Rome: A Vatican officials have apologized to the leading Catholic LGBTQ advocacy group for attracting references to the Vatican website, saying he realized the move caused the pain and that the Catholic Church did want to put gay and hear from them.
The Vatican General Secretariat for the synods of the bishops, which regulates two-year consultations from Ranking Catholics and files ahead of the 2023 Bishop meeting at the Vatican, restoring references to new streets on the website on weekends.
Director of Communication Synod, Thierry Bonaventura, said he wanted to apologize “for all LGBT and to members of the new way the ministry for the pain was caused” and urged them to contribute their reflection in the consultation process.
“In walking together, sometimes someone might fall, the important thing is to get back up with the help of brothers and sisters,” he wrote at the Sinode Bulletin.
Bonaventura confirmed the statement to the Associated Press on Monday.
Initially the synod included a reference to the new way of the ministry, a US-based organization that advocated greater gay receipts in the Catholic Church, on the “Resources” page directing people to information sources about the synode consultation process.
Other US resources beside him were the US Catholic Bishop and ArchdioCeses conference from Boston and Newark.
But the new reference service was revealed earlier this month without explanation.
Suspicion fell at the US bishop conference, headed by conservatives who had maintained new streets in the length of the weapon.
Catholic doctrine argues that gays must be treated with dignity and respect but homosexual activity “irregular intrinsically.” Flip-flop on reference to new ministries on the Synode website is an indication of a recent mixed message that is seen by the Holy and Pope Francis itself has sent about the Vatican position on gay and their place in the church.
Francis made international headlines in 2013 when he insinuated “Who am I to judge?” About a gay priest said.
He followed up for years with unprecedented papal outreach movements to the gay and transsexual community, and, while the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, supports expanding legal protection – but not married – for gay pairs in a stable relationship.
But he has also uphold the teaching of the official Church and agreed earlier this year with document publications from the Vatican doctrine office which states that the Catholic Church cannot and will not bless the same skin since the Lord “cannot bless sin.”
