As a result the reader understands what was at stake and the differences in actions of the various Episcopal conferences. The authors also analyse the pro and con evaluations among the civil population of such actions by the Church. Finally, in a comparative synthesis, they discuss the public positions taken by Pope Francis to evaluate if a change in Church policy might be possible in the near future. 410 0$aKADOC studies on religion, culture and society ;$v15. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a282 686 $a08.45$2bcl 701 $aPe?rez-Agote$b Alfonso$01249216 701 $aDobbelaere$b Karel$0183268 712 02$aKatholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1970- ) 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159531803321 996 $aThe Intimate.
