No one is excluded from the love of God or from being welcomed into the Catholic Church, but God's love and the Church's welcome also come with a call to conversion, the English-language groups at the synod of bishops have said.

Young people need to know "the Church's beautiful, yet challenging, vision, teaching and anthropology of the body, sexuality, love and life, marriage and chastity," said the English-A group.

"At the same time, we restate the Church's opposition to discrimination against any person or group, and her insistence that God loves every young person, and so does the Church," the group said in its report.
