A major assembly of more than 400 bishops and lay Catholics, called by Pope Francis to discuss the church’s future, is underway in Rome. Topics on the agenda include the ordination of female deacons, the celibacy of the clergy and the blessing of same-sex couples.
Outside the conference, every ideological stripe of Catholic activist and special interest group has also descended on the Italian capital, hoping to share the spotlight. They include advocates for the ordination of women, conservative and progressive culture warriors and abortion rights campaigners. (At least one had been formally excommunicated.)
