VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Conservative Catholics have launched a barrage of challenges to Pope Francis before a big Vatican meeting, with five cardinals demanding clarifications on same-sex couples and other issues, and a women's group saying only men should vote at the event. The cardinals from Asia, Europe, Africa, the United States and Latin America said on Monday they had sent the pope a set of formal questions, known as "dubia" ("doubts" in Latin), about the gathering. In an open letter to Catholics, they said they had announced their challenges "so that you may not be subject to confusion, error, and discouragement but rather may pray for the universal Church".

boys. ranging from 13 to 17 years of age. the bishop, who is now retired and didn t want to talk to cnn went on, it is our opinion that stephen kiesle be relieved of all obligations of the priesthood. it was a group of chain of letters written back in latin. it went on over four years until finally a vatican letter said that rome need moored time because we deem it necessary to consider the good of the universal church. keep in mind at the time the letters were written to the vatican, stephen kiesle wasn t claiming he was innocent. he was already punished for crimes against the children. so why would the vatican remove him from the priesthood immediately? we would like to as the man who signed the vatican letter. but there may be no tougher interview in the world to get. that s because the signature is from cardinal joseph ratsinger. he is now pope benedict.
