Pope Francis waves while leaving at the end of the morning session of the Synod on the Family at the Vatican on October 5, 2015. Pope Francis said on October 5 that the Church was "not a museum" but a place for progress, as members of a key synod started three weeks of debate aimed at reshaping Catholic teaching on the family. Francis urged a spirit of "solidarity, courage and humility" as the Catholic Church's conservative and liberal wings began tackling hot-button topics from communion for remarried divorcees to acceptance of homosexuality.
