These are legal matters, with some moral obligations. The church doesn't make civil law, but she has to recognize that civil law is meant to protect citizens.

I am so glad for Pope Francis he has the FR RF in his hip pocket making sure he is ‘clearly understood.’ If it was not for you and a few more posters, this Pope would just be judged on what he actually says and not what others say he actually says.
Now if you have a few minutes, perhaps you can post on the thread to defend the Pope lifting a rosary in a casket from a deceased priest. The apologetics for casket ‘lifting’ should be interesting.
