The fact that a class of people has been created who can now receive Communion in the Philipines, but cannot in England & Wales suggests that there are problems with the interpretation of AL. Technically a schism has already been created.<br /><br />The Pope needs to clear up the ambiguities before the problems get worse. Not to do so is a reckless neglect of his office.Deacon Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549825303646357455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-79840871608885357712016-12-11T16:30:33.257+00:002016-12-11T16:30:33.257+00:00Paragraphs 10 and 11 are pretty anodyne and the po...Paragraphs 10 and 11 are pretty anodyne and the pope (or whoever wrote this bit) hasn't said anything new. <br /><br />Amoris Laetitia taken as a whole leaves (at least) 5 imperfectly answered questions, the dubia; or at least it allows the mischievous to claim that the answers to the questions are not those that have been accepted Catholic doctrine for 2000 years. Asking for a clear re-affirmation of the eternal verities doesn't seem too be too unreasonable.Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357168852208499013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-51862140422182034342016-12-11T15:37:02.120+00:002016-12-11T15:37:02.120+00:00Brava, Mac.

On your part.<br /><br />Actually, that applies to...um...retry much all of it. But if you would specifically highlight those parts f the PapalExhortation, written by the Pope, that you think maybe either contradict doctrine or somehow muddy the waters of caritas, faith or clinging tithe rock that is the Barque of Peter, then we'll see what we can do to help.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />RuariRuarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863187619652339133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-87981539882390330822016-12-11T10:56:16.535+00:002016-12-11T10:56:16.535+00:00Thanks for the encouragement, Joe.
