“To be courageous means to address the pain of the divorced and remarried, supporting them and helping them to put into practice what has been said several times in recent years. That is, do not exclude the divorced and remarried from the life of the Church, when in these days people are surprised if a divorced and remarried person even continues to attend Mass.”

Why not be courageous and address the pain of active homosexual couples, child rapists, murderers, etc.?

Why should the Church support unrepentant adulterers in their sins?

Well yes, that too. By unrepentant mortal sin, they could not benefit from Communion even if it were (sacrilegiously) given to them -- God forbid. But nobody should be be excluded from the Church's pastoral care, leading to repentance and hope and healing from the Lord Himself.
