As I expected, the idea that this would only be in individual circumstances after long reflection with a confessor rapidly goes out the window, and pretty soon the exception swallows up the rule, and any and all divorced and remarried adulterers will freely partake of communion, as was likely intended. This Pope and his synods are a disaster.
Remember the pro-abortion propaganda of the 1960’s? Always showed a dignified lady of about 35, in a hat, with a purse, sitting and talking to her doctor, in a white coat. Seriously, soberly discussing the possibility of an abortion. It was always “a woman and HER DOCTOR.”
Of course, women NEVER go to their regular doctor for an abortion, because real doctors refuse to do abortions. Even if they have no moral objection, they know that, after an abortion, they will likely never see that patient again. Women go to abortion mills, often after having been threatened and beat up by their “boyfriend.” They are herded in like cattle.
Only a disaster from an orthodox perspective. To Francis and his minions, it looks like a smashing success.
I have given up the idea that Francis has blundered his way through his papacy. In my opinion, he has displayed a cunning that is quite deliberate. I no longer believe anything he says.
