Agreed!
It started in February with Kasper being invited by the Pope to present his position paper on Communion for the remarried to a special consistory.
One could argue the Pope started the fix even sooner with his press interview on the plane, coming back from WYD in Brazil.
About the problem of Communion to those persons in a second union, that the divorced might participate in Communion, there is no problem. When they are in a second union, they can't.
I believe that it is necessary to keep this within the entirety of pastoral care of marriage. And for this it is a problem. But also... a parenthesis, the Orthodox have a different praxis. They follow the theology of economy, as they called it, and they give a second chance, they allow it. But I believe that this problem, and I close the parenthesis, must be studied in the framework of marriage pastoral ministry.
And for this, two things: first, one of the themes to be consulted with the eight of this council of cardinals, with whom we'll be meeting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October, is how to move ahead in the pastoral care of marriage, and this problem will come up there. Pope Francis 7/28/2013
Since that moment, Pope Francis has unleashed his Hound from Hell, Cardinal Kasper, and has yet to reign the beast in.
Spelling Nazi says it’s “rein,” not “reign.”
