The Vatican on Thursday issued the working document for the synod discussions, which in itself marked a sharp change from past practice: The Vatican sent out a 39-point questionnaire seeking input from ordinary Catholics around the world about their understanding of, and adherence to, the church's teaching on sexuality, homosexuality, contraception, marriage and divorce.
Many thought the 1960s would bring change regarding contraceptives, but remarkably remains a major debate (at least some places -- see Hobby Lobby). But, even the Church can push against the tide for so long. This pope provides a modicum of hope.
