MGB: As good as Amoris and Cameli's reflection are doctrinally, they have a problem with point of view. It is still celibates idealizing marriage. While they have some experience in dealing with sexual beings in their pastoral work, they are not themselves sexually attracted to others (except the gay ones and the ones with mistresses, although such secret lives are not considered healthy sexuality). This teaching could have been supplemented by a committee of married and divorced laity, although the Church has been burned by using such a panel, not because the laity were wrong, but because they were right and that was seen as inconvenient. I am sure the documents has something to say in seeking holiness, but only if holiness is a step apart and has nothing to do with who takes out the trash (which is the ultimate test of holiness).
