The Holy Father’s much awaited post-synodal apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, has been released. A summary of it may be read at Rorate Caeli.
Here are links to commentaries on Pope Francis’ work, commentaries we have helpfully categorized according to what may be our readers’ preferred hermeneutical approach:
- Pope Francis Departs from Church Teaching in New Exhortation — Dr. Maike Hickson at 1 Peter 5, representing the indignant traditionalist view.
- Pope Francis opens door to Communion for ‘remarried’ Catholics in landmark exhortation — John Jalsevac and Patrick B. Craine at LifeSite News, representing the outlook of concerned and betrayed pro-family activists.
- Top Ten Takeaways from “Amoris Laetitia” — James Martin, (S.J.) at America Magazine, representing the modernist, progressivist view.
- No doctrine change from Pope Francis – but a call for better pastoral care — EWTN/CNA, representing the “reconciling-the-irreconcilable” view of magisterial positivism.
In keeping with the spirit of the day, these links are provided in the most non-judgmental way possible. We report, you decry.
