Pro-family Catholics reject Synod mid-way report, calling it ‘a betrayal’


Note: Voice of the Family, a coalition of 15 international pro-family groups, released this Monday morning.

The Extraordinary Synod on the Family's mid-term report is nothing short of a "betrayal" of Catholic and family values, says an influential pro-family group.

Mincing no words, Voice of the Family's British spokesperson John Smeaton said that "those who are controlling the Synod have betrayed Catholic parents. The Synod’s mid-way report is one of the worst official documents drafted in Church history."

"Thankfully," said Smeaton, "the report is a preliminary report for discussion, rather than a definitive proposal."

Likewise, Irish representative Patrick Buckley said that the report "represents an attack on marriage and the family" by "in effect giving a tacit approval of adulterous relationships." Additionally, "the report undermines the Church's definitive teaching against contraception, and fails to recognize that homosexual inclination is objectively disordered," said Buckley.
