Over the past three weeks, Catholic bishops have analyzed and debated a number of flashpoint issues that affect young Catholics, and this week is scheduled to end with one of the most divisive: how the church should receive members of the LGBT community around the world.
The 25-day synod of bishops will end this week with the adoption of a final document, as voted by the 26 bishops, priests and cardinals from around the world, along with a letter addressed to young Catholics that represent the decisions made.
Before the synod, a series of young delegates mandated Let the long-awaited document transmit an exclusive message. The Vatican apparently embraced that possibility in its preventive document, recognizing "LGBT", which means lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered, for the first time in its history.
Nevertheless, the subject remains subject to a fierce debate within the leadership of the Church.
While some of the main leaders support the use of language, including the Cardinal of Papua New Guinea, John Ribat, who said at a press conference on Saturday that "young people talk about it freely" and that they "encourage" us to " call us, talk to us like this because this is what we are, "others oppose more firmly.
The archbishop of Philadelphia, Charles Chaput, affirmed his speech, according to the Associated Press, that "there is no" Catholic LGBTQ "or a" transgender Catholic "or a" heterosexual Catholic ", as if our sexual appetites defined who we are. "

Before the synod of bishops, a coalition of religious activists and LGBT launched an online campaign Equaluture2018.com to create "awareness of the harm caused to children when they feel that being LGBT would be a disgrace or a disappointment".
The activist's website states that "Catholic Church leaders should consider the role that the Church's teaching on LGBT has played in giving children and young people the feeling that being LGBT would be a disgrace or a disappointment" and urged young people to get in touch with their delegates in advance. of the meeting to share their points of view.
Since Pope Francis uttered the phrase "Who am I to judge?" In a reference to homosexual Catholics in July 2013, the commentary has been seen as a milestone moment and a powerful break with tradition within the Church, igniting both praise and criticism.
