"No other interpretation,"
The words of Jorge Berogoglio on the infamous chapter in Amoris Laetitia!
Now we know. Now we know what Bergoglio really thinks, there is no more doubting it.
Yet, there will be people, including in this combox, who will say, that he did not say this or that he said elsewhere. No. This is modernism and this is heresy. It only takes a drop of water to poison a litre of water. If you drink it, you will still die.
The Bishops of Buenos Aires have issued a document to their priests on the interpretation of Amoris Laetitia. The side-by-side, Spanish-English can be found at this link:

Read the document. There are phrases of ambiguity and then there is this:
9) It might be convenient that an eventual access to the sacraments be brought about in a reserved way, above all when conflictive situations are foreseen. But at the same time one must not cease to accompany the community, so that it might grow in a spirit of understanding and welcoming, without creating confusion regarding the teaching of the Church on the indissolubility of marriage. The community is an instrument of mercy that its “undeserved, unconditional, and free” (297).
"Eventual access to the sacraments," for people who are in adulterous situations and who have no intention of rectifying it, or at least; as John Paul II taught, living as "brother and sister," if no other option were possible.
The bishops sent their report to the Pope. The full response translation can be read here:

The money quote is this:
"The document is very good and completely explains the meaning of chapter VIII of Amoris Laetitia. There are no other interpretations. And I am certain that it will do much good. May the Lord reward this effort of pastoral charity."
There is no more doubt. Bergoglio is approving of sacrilege. He is licensing the "eating unto one's own condemnation." There is no more room for accusations that we are twisting his words or misinterpreting him or him being confused because something is not in his first language. He was quite clear in what he wrote, and what he meant.
Any Catholic cardinal, bishop or priest who aligns himself with Bergoglio in this interpretation of Amoris Laetitia will bear eternal consequences for those faithful decieved by this lie - a lie from the very Bishop of Rome. Did you ever think that you would live to see the day?
No more excuses. No, this is not dementia. This is not our mistake of what he said. He said it, and it is not Catholic.
Catholics have been betrayed by Joseph Ratzinger, a coward who abandoned us. A father who abandoned his children. The man that has taken his place is not a spiritual father, he is the equivalent of the evil stepfather who manipulates and abuses his children.
No more excuses from any that Amoris Laetitia must be interpreted in the light of Tradition. No! Amoris Laetitia must be denounced along with the Pope who promulgated it. Enough of the excuses.
The time has come.
With all due respect to whom it may concern, I think that the Pope could be right about this issue, but for the wrong reason.
More specifically, If the Pope would take the time to study the Holy Bible then he could argue his stance about communion with Matthew 26:24-26.
Simply put, that passage indicates that after breaking bread, Jesus gave it to his disciples — including Judas.
So if Jesus included Judas in the breaking of bread at the Last Supper, then I don’t see where any “tradition of man” (Mark 7:9-13) can prohibit the sharing of bread with church members in good standing, people who haven’t been expelled from a congregation as per the example of 1 Corinthians 5.
On the other hand, maybe a congregation should be expelling adulterous people along with gay people in accordance with 1 Corinthians 5.
Corrections, insights welcome.
With all due respect, “Are you a Catholic?”
Your comment implies you are not one.
Our Lady of LaSalette Novena Sept.10-18
Remember, Our Lady of LaSalette, true Mother of Sorrows,
the tears which thou did shed for me on Calvary.
Be mindful also of the unceasing care which thou does exercise
to screen me from the Justice of God,
and consider whether thou can now abandon thy child,
for whom thou hast done so much.
Inspired by this consoling thought, I come to cast myself at thy feet,
in spite of my infidelities and ingratitude.
Mention your intentions here:
Reject not my prayer, O Virgin of reconciliation, convert me,
obtain for me the grace to love Jesus Christ above all things
and to console thee too by living a holy life,
in order that one day I may be able to see thee in Heaven.
Amen
Our Lady of LaSalette, pray for us.
As I recall, at the Last Supper, Judas had not yet betrayed Jesus.
Therefore I recommend a complete catechesis of the Exhortation, which will certainly assist in the growth, consolidation, and sanctification of the family.
Francis the Fraud plans on officially teaching this to the entire Vatican II church. Good thing those who are Catholic won't bite.
He is the sneakiest Pope who has ever occupied the chair.
Judas was not a notorious sinner. His sins were secret. The Church’s practice of denial of Communion has to do only with notorious sinners.
Bergoglio is no more intellectually honest than Obama. Or just plain honest.
