I think OP is referring to the new Synod of Bishops, the Catholic Church is trying to modernize itself and one of the "rulings" is about homosexual acceptance, they still don't see homosexual couples as equal to heterosexual couples, they simply say they are acceptable now...
I believe this is a direct result of the survey they made last year, homosexual unions were on that questionnaire.
b) Concerning Unions of Persons of the Same Sex
Civil Recognition
110. On unions of persons of the same sex, the responses of the bishops' conferences refer to Church teaching. “There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. [...] Nonetheless, according to the teaching of the Church, men and women with homosexual tendencies ‘must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided’”
