Debate over 'Amoris Laetitia' is over: Distinctly Catholic: What made me realize that the debate on the Holy Father's apostolic exhortation was over was a post by Cardinal Donald Wuerl at his archdiocesan blog.
MGB: Questions on A.L. may be answered, but questions on divorce, remarriage and adultery have not been. It still does not set right that the victim of bad conduct in a marriage, especially when it involves physical violence, cannot escape and find love again. I am all for the abuser being barred from life from remarriage, but not the victim. Mercy cannot ignore justice.
This essay does clarify one thing - that it reflects what most priests do anyway - thus taking the power away from the ordinaries and putting it with the pastors, where it belongs. Only those jealous of their episcopal power are objecting. I suspect they will find different roles in the Church before too long.
