Catholic bishops gather in Rome for 'extraordinary synod' as reformers try to overturn longstanding Church rules
story, pictures, video at DM link above Pope Francis is believed to want the Church reformers to succeed
A close ally of the Pope has proposed allowing the divorced and remarried to take Holy Communion
Conservative Catholic officials totally opposed to this move believing it is a threat to the principle of marriage
Church does not recognise divorces dispensed by civil courts and regards people who have remarried as adulterers
