POPE Francis has suffered a setback as proposals for wider acceptance of gay people failed to win a two-thirds majority at a Catholic Church synod.
A draft issued half way through the meeting of senior clericclerics had called for greater openness towards homosexuals, and divorced and remarried Catholics.
But those paragraphs were not approved, and stripped from the final report. All other parts of the draft report were accepted by the synod.
The Pope then said the full draft document, including the rejected paragraphso, should nonetheless be published.
