The U.S. bishops have already begun taking sides. If sheer lunacy ends up coming out of the ongoing Synod on the family, many of these bishops have quietly made plans to do whatever it takes to remain faithful to tradition.
In the Catholic Church, the bishop is a critical player in all this because his name appears on the titles of all church property in his diocese. So if the Catholic Church sees a schism unfold, each bishop will effectively be the sole determinant of which side his diocese will be on.

If you take principle #1 literally, single Catholics (including children) and widowed Catholics would be barred from receiving Communion.
Support for organizations which publicly reject Church teachings should mean anyone who donates money to the Democratic Party should be excluded.

“Catholics,” he continues, “must be in a marriage recognized as valid by the Church to receive Holy Communion or the other sacraments.I don't follow on the logical or. Does he mean all the other sacraments ?

The new rules could raise eyebrows, given that Francis is currently leading a high-level Vatican summit, called a synod, where he and some 270 bishops are debating whether to let... Interesting piece of journalistic work.
"The new rules" simply means that on September 21 there was no memo and on 22nd here it is. Or does it mean to imply that there is something new to the rules themselves?
Whatever the Synod decides has not been decided yet. So, what "eyebrows"? If it so happens that the Synod liberalizes something, it would not be hard for the Archbishop to write another memo.
