How can I take this Synod Seriously?

 I can barely stand to read anything about the Synod going on in Rome.  It makes me so upset to hear what some of these "celibate" man are preaching.  Don't they understand that God is love?
  
Thank God this Cardinal said something I can agree with:

Cardinal Walter Kasper said  “A Church without women is like a mutilated body,”  He also said that  “Without them, parishes would close tomorrow.”   Kasper remarked that it was “absurd” that women did not hold “high-level” positions in the Roman Curia.  He added that women should also be included, as consultants, in major discussions at the congregations dealing with education, saint-making, doctrine and consecrated life “since 80 percent of Religious are women.” (The Tablet, 03/08/14)

On the other hand, Cardinal Raymond Burke states: 
“If homosexual relations are intrinsically disordered, which indeed they are — reason teaches us that and also our faith — then, what would it mean to grandchildren to have present at a family gathering a family member who is living [in] a disordered relationship with another person?” asked the cardinal.

How can he say that an all-loving God creates people who are "intrinsically disordered'?    Why would an intelligent human being, in this day and age, make a remark like this???    It is so absolutely frustrating to hear someone who is in a decision making position in my church say such a ludicrous thing? 

I am so discouraged by this group of men in Rome!
