The position of the Church is unequivocal. Communion to remarried divorcees is denied because matrimony is indissoluble and none of the reasons adopted by Cardinal Kasper allows for the celebration of a new matrimony or the blessing of a pseudo-matrimonial union. The Church did not allow it to Henry VIII, losing [for this reason] the Kingdom of England, and will never allow it, because, as Pius XII recalled to the parish priests of Rome on March 16, 1946: "The matrimony between baptized, validly contracted and consumated, cannot be dissolved by any power on earth, not even by the Supreme Church Authority."

That is, not even by the Pope, and even less so by cardinal Kasper.

There's always somebody who thinks we can help people by denying that sin is sin. It never works. It always makes things worse.

“Cardinal Kasper does not express even one word of condemnation on divorce and its disastrous consequences in western society. “

The divorced are hardened, they won’t hear of it. Too many of them. Absolutely immune.

“What then should a Catholic do if some portion of the Church detaches itself from communion of the universal Faith? What choice can he make if some new contagion attempts to poison, no longer a small part of the Church, but the whole Church at once? Then his great concern will be to attach himself to antiquity which can no longer be led astray by any lying novelty.” (Commonitory)

St. Vincent of Lerins
