Words of welcome from a bishop for gay people raising children and people in second marriages have been removed from a video promoting the World Meeting of Families 2018. The spokeswoman pointed to a video entitled Parish Conversations Session 5, where she said “the themes raised by Bishop O’Connell are dealt with more fully”. This remains the position of the World Meeting of Families in Dublin.”‘Promotes sin’Meanwhile, a US-based fundamentalist Catholic website has said the Session 5 video “promotes the sin of homosexuality”. An article on Church Militant’s website headed “Sodomy Supporters Hijack World Meeting of Families” claims the video “normalises homosexuality”. The “pro-gay propaganda” in the video, it says, begins with a young gay woman who talks about coming out to her parents.
