CNA Newsroom, Jul 19, 2022 / 03:21 am (CNA). The German “Synodal Way” is aiming to change the Church’s teaching on homosexuality by proposing “a conscious statement against the current Catholic catechism”, according to a leading protagonist of the controversial process.

Marc Frings, the secretary-general of the Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK), said the “Synodal Way” –– sometimes referred to as “Synodal Path” –– was “a conscious statement against the current Catholic catechism, which has been critical and disparaging of homosexuality since the mid-1970s and still reproaches homosexual activity as sin.”

His comments were published on July 17 in German and English by “Outreach”, a website edited by Father James Martin SJ that describes itself as an “LGBT Catholic resource”.

The title of the opinion piece referred to the controversial process, which is not a synod, as “the German synod”. When contacted by CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner, with a request for clarification, Frings said he had asked “Outreach” to correct the mistake, explaining he himself had not written the title.

Quoting the “Synodal Way”, Frings further wrote: “The recognition of the equality and legitimacy of non-heterosexual orientations, their practices and relationships, as well as the elimination of discrimination based on sexual orientation, is urgently required.”

The official pointed to a text of the forum on “Life in succeeding relationships – Living love in sexuality and partnership”, which not only contains comments about changing views on homosexuality but also about masturbation, marriage, sexual lust and other related topics.

So, in other words, heresy. Got it.

Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

The modern Roman church is nearing open heresy because they will not submit to the authority of scripture. It holds tradition to be equal to God’s word.

Championing homosexuality is listed among the fruits of those turned over to depraved minds BECAUSE they first refused to retain knowledge of the Lord.

Romans 1:18-32

Take heed when people champion homosexuality in any congregation! It is surely a sign to you that they have departed from the truth. Do not have fellowship with them ... only call on them to repent. Do not follow after them and do not compromise the truth with them in anything.

It would be easier for them if they simply listed the items
which they still do consider a sin. A very short list, I'd bet.

They must also believe that G-D owes the wicked men of Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

“ the current Catholic catechism, which has been critical and disparaging of homosexuality since the mid-1970s and still reproaches homosexual activity as sin.”

I’m pretty sure this has been the position of the Catholic Church for 2000 years
