Francis: Christianity is not ethics | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: It is a story of our salvation through Christ, but as importantly a story of each of our salvations through the celebration of the Sacraments.  Of course, because of debates over worthiness to receive Communion and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, ethics comes back in pretty quick - especially when politico-ethical issues are discussed from the Ambo in January and at election time.  Of course, this brings in the politics of Church governnance.  The Church is a whole - you can't take out any of the parts, including ethics and, again, the question of whether we form them or they are dictated to us by our Ordinaries and Rome, which brings up how the Ordinaries are chosen and what is the nature of natural law in the Catholic Church.  I can see why Benedict the relativistic anti-relativist and Francis want to run away from ethics, but I don't think it is possible.
