The gathering, which included cardinals, bishops and lay people from more than 110 countries, also did not take a stand on inclusion of the LGBTQ community, despite discussion that it might call on the Church to be more welcoming. The question of women deacons, the document said, “remains open” and “discernment needs to continue”.
The synod’s final document, a 52-page text approved by the assembly late Saturday afternoon, also called for lay Catholics to be given a greater voice in the selection of bishops, and apologised several times for the “untold and ongoing” pain suffered by Catholics who were abused by clergy.
