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 clerics had called for greater openness towards homosexuals, and those who had divorced or contracted a civil marriage.
But those paragraphs were not approved, and stripped from final the report.
The Pope said the full draft document should nonetheless be published.
