Were always at risk of falling into casuistry. When the synod on the family began, some said: See, the pope summons a synod to give communion to the divorced. And theyre still saying so today! In reality, the synod took a step on the path in matrimonial morals, passing from the casuistry of decadent scholasticism to the true morals of St. Thomas Aquinas. That point at which Amoris Laetitia speaks of the integration of divorcees, eventually opening up to the possibility of the sacraments, was developed according to the most classical morals of St. Thomas, the most orthodox, not the decadent casuistry of one can or one cannot.
Heresy!
