First thing mention is that he criticize the concept that itis front page news that the Stock Market went up 3 points, it is non-news that people are having a hard time surviving.

He then mention Abortion,

Then he mention people in the church who wants to turn the church back to 1940 and rejects that idea on the grounds the Church's first concern should be the poor not personal salvation.

He mentions what he refers to a Gnostic influences within the church, something he opposes.

Then he says the poor are the Gospel and to help the poor is to do Christ's work.

The next paragraph is as follows (Computer translation):

(to reflect you how hard to take care of the Roman Curia, and the commission of cardinals who will support, etc..) And, yes ... it's hard. curia In some people holy, really, people holy. But there is also a stream of corruption , there also is true ... It speaks of the "gay lobby", and it is true, is there ... you have to see what we can do ...


The Pope makes a request that people pray for him, that he be wrong as little as possible

The Pope then spoke of a meeting her had, it was a good meeting, but something was to come out of it, but did not and thus taken as a whole did not do what he wanted out of the meeting.

He then mentions to many groups holding onto old buildings and money, he sees that as a problem, to many people within the church are more concerned about money then they vocation and that problem has to be addressed.


Please note I skipped huge section of the Document for the translation was bad, it appears more like notes taken at a meeting then anything to be published and as such hard to translate.

My concern is why the heavy concern on the "Gay" issue (In the reports of this report not the report itself). When the comment appears to be an add on to a larger corruption issue? Even the Corruption issue is NOT the main concern in the paper, but those concerns are ignored? It is like the reports on this report are concerned about one issue and will address that issue only, even if it is only a foot note to a larger issue.

This is much ado about nothing in my opinion, a foot note to a foot note.
