Cardinal Angelo Scola, left, and Cardinal Baselios Cleemis, are reflected on the glass door of the Paul VI hall as they arrive for a morning session of a two-week synod on family issues at the Vatican, Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2014. Catholic bishops signaled a radical shift in tone Monday about accepting gays into the church, saying they had gifts to offer and that their partnerships, while morally problematic, provided homosexual couples with "precious" support. In a preliminary report, released half-way through a Vatican meeting on family life called by Pope Francis, the bishops also said the church must welcome divorcees and recognize the "positive" aspects of civil marriages and even Catholics who cohabitate, as well as the children of these less traditional families.

FILE - In this Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014 file photo, Kurdish Rabia Ali, right, accompanied by her son Ali Mehmud, mourn at the grave of her son Seydo Mehmud 'Curo' , a Kurdish fighter, who was killed in the fighting with the militants of the Islamic State group in Kobani, Syria, and was buried at a cemetery in Suruc, Turkey. No one contests that the U.S.-led coalition has conducted more than 40 airstrikes against the militants besieging Kobani, nor that Turkey has granted refuge to more than 200,000 people who have flooded across the border to escape the offensive. But Kurds say that both countries - and the international community in general - should be doing more to help save Kobani from the fanatical militants who have massacred and beheaded their enemies across Syria and Iraq.
