Therefore , by presenting certain key points of Church doctrine in a clearer light , this sacred synod wishes to offer guidance and support to those Christians and other men who are trying to preserve the holiness and to foster the natural dignity of the married state and its superlative value . " After debate , synod adopted the committee recommendation - including a statement that if synod wishes to appoint a study committee to determine how to deal with ecclesiastical noncompliance " it would be best served by doing so in response to an overture from one of our churches documenting the scope and prevalence of ecclesiastical noncompliance . All should take pains , then , lest in catechetical instruction and in the preaching of God 's Word they teach anything out of harmony with the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ ; as also from these words : Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is thus so great , this sacred Synod wishes to foster and recommend mutual understanding and respect . This is also the fundamental reason underlying the examination of conscience which the Synod wishes to encourage in the local Churches in Europe .
