US archbishop urges both sides to cool down at Vatican [View all]

Josephine McKenna

VATICAN CITY (RNS) After two days of fighting between happy liberals and angry conservatives, the Vatican on Wednesday (Oct. 15) dispatched a leading moderate from the U.S. church to tell both sides to temper their expectations about impending changes in church doctrine.

Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, Ky., president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, stressed that a working document on family issues released on Monday (Oct. 13) is simply that — a draft document still subject to amendment by about 200 bishops and lay delegates meeting at Vatican City.

I wouldn't, either. okasha Oct 2014 #7

That's good advice. rug Oct 2014 #2

Of course i see some in the other room just want to pounce. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #4

They will never have a reasonable discussion about religion generally rug Oct 2014 #5

I understand the hesitation on their part but one has to admit this is exciting hrmjustin Oct 2014 #8

"it brought out a part of me I did not like" rug Oct 2014 #10

It felt like I was being tested. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #11

If that's what it was, you passed. rug Oct 2014 #12

Thanks. in the future when i go in there i must remind myself to always smile. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #13

You passed, with honors. okasha Oct 2014 #14

Thanks. i do feel burned by the room. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #15

I understand. okasha Oct 2014 #16

You are good at dealing with your detractors. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #17

Can you be more specific about who, precisely, issued a 'fatwa', and who is obeying it? AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #19

Sure I can. rug Oct 2014 #23

Except of course, there is none. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #24

Except, of course, history and evidence demonstrate there is. rug Oct 2014 #25

In post 23 you make a specific allegation about me/my knowledge. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #26

Oh, take it Religion. rug Oct 2014 #28

I agree it's no place for stupid games. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #29

Then stop playing them. rug Oct 2014 #31

Yes I read A&A AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #32

Roght in front of your nose. rug Oct 2014 #33

We've gone back and forth for ten posts now. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #34

I am not baiting you. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #40

If you want to complain about hosts, I suggest you start at A&A. rug Oct 2014 #41

I raised a couple threads about tone and meta in that venue. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #42

Certain posters seem not to understand-- okasha Oct 2014 #6

Well said! hrmjustin Oct 2014 #9

We understand and acknowledge. AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #18

Well i understand your being hesitant but i think this new thing is rather exciting. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #20

And on the other issues? AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #21

We will continue to oppose them on those issue. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #22

Will we continue to castigate agitators for change? AtheistCrusader Oct 2014 #27

I don't see castigation here in this thread. hrmjustin Oct 2014 #30
