ORF "The Loving Family" tomorrow in KREUZ & QUER

Pope Francis has asked all the dioceses around the globe to take part in a survey on marriage, family and sexuality. More than 34,000 people in Austria completed the survey, with over 14,000 in Graz-Seckau alone. Kreuz & Quer visited the parish in Weiz, Styria, and spoke with "normal" families about their opinions on the survey topics, as well as with those the Church believes are "irregular" or living in "mortal sin", including people who are divorced and remarried and gay couples.The results of the Austria-wide survey suggest that the Church needs reforms, especially in how they deal with these people and in the area of contraception. At the Extraordinary Synod of Bishops, which will take place at the Vatican on October 19th, the bishops will discuss the concrete results of the survey.
