The Synod Begins | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: There is a place between the moral and pastoral schools where we need to recognize that some people are truly not sinning if their sexuality is not open to conception - either singles who are indulging themselves or gay couples who are accepting the invitation to permantent loving relationships.  Let us also look at the doctrine of marriage and we will see that people marry eachother, the priest is but a witness and procreation is not a requirement for a sacramental marriage - or else seniors could not be newlyweds.  Consumerism in products does not carry over into relationships - and if someone is working hard for low wages I do not begrudge them an X-Box.  Indeed, this is where the Church should teach about income supplementation through taxes - capitalzing on those inherited truths - and bring back the term not heard much in our modern times among the seven deadly sins - Luxury.  Condemn that.
