Danielle, "Up until the seventies in Australia, and possibly later, children who were born out of wedlock were refused entry into the public service"

Do you have a source for that?

onethebeach,

I experienced this personally.

I received notification from the public service refusing my application for a position. The reasons were "tactfully" alluded to. I sought clarification and the situation was explained to me. Although I had been legally adopted by my stepfather overseas, I didn't pursue the issue further.

Other than this personal experience, I have no other reference to provide. There may have been other issues of which I was not aware, but the explanation given was "the circumstances of your birth".

The preparatory document for next year’s Synod of Bishops on the Family was formally released at a news conference in the Vatican on Tuesday.

The synod’s theme is “The pastoral challenges to the Family in the context of Evangelization and it will run from the 5th to the 19th of October 2014.

The document gives an overview of Church teaching on the family and spells out in a frank manner the many daunting challenges facing the family in today’s society, saying there is an urgency for the Church to address these challenges.

The document also includes a questionnaire or consultation containing 39 questions on family issues that has been sent to bishops conferences around the world asking them to share it as widely as possible so that input from local sources can be received.

f ) Could a simplification of canonical practice in recognizing a declaration of nullity of the marriage bond provide a positive contribution to solving the problems of the persons involved? If yes, what form would it take?
g) Does a ministry exist to attend to these cases? Describe this pastoral ministry? Do such programmes exist on the national and diocesan levels? How is God’s mercy proclaimed to separated couples and those divorced and remarried and how does the Church put into practice her support for them in their journey of faith?

5. On Unions of Persons of the Same Sex
a) Is there a law in your country recognizing civil unions for people of the same-sex and equating it in some way to marriage?
b) What is the attitude of the local and particular Churches towards both the State as the promoter of civil unions between persons of the same sex and the people involved in this type of union?
c) What pastoral attention can be given to people who have chosen to live in these types of union?
d) In the case of unions of persons of the same sex who have adopted children, what can be done pastorally in light of transmitting the faith?

Two great principles which are included in the Unity of Godhead were made to appear as two separate things in order that those two principles might be studied in detail by those who were not competent to study them as One.

But when the male considers the female he is but getting at a more clear understanding of a part of himself, and so when the female reasons on the male. For as they were not separate in the eternities / of development which went before this present eternity of matter and form, so the two elements shall, become one again in those eternities which shall come after.

one under god,

You have made interesting points and I am sure there are many who agree them.

As I understand it, some clergy are prepared to marry same sex couples. Perhaps some one who is better informed about this than I, could comment.
