The murderer has to stop murdering so doesn't that mean the adulterer has to stop... adultering? How can someone who continues in adultery be said to have converted?
The hope or solution for human situations that are sinful are for the humans to stop sinning. How is this confusing to a cardinal of the Roman Church?!
Just think, this same cardinal voted in the last election of a pope. Do you think he's getting his kick-back, manyfold?
And Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and all the other abortion supporting Catholic politicians continue to receive communion, without a peep of objection from the Church.
I thought about this too— the contrast between a remarriage and murder.
I see that Matrimony is one of only seven Holy Sacraments, as is, The Holy Order of the Priesthood. (Once a priest, always a priest, for good or ill.) Insoluble, period, in the Catholic Church.
Death, or murder, and even Life, are different from a sacrament, and are not an act of the Church, or performed by the priesthood.
