The Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia is a very lengthy document, which discusses a wide variety of subjects related to the family.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

imho, caring pastoral counseling for the person(s) is all right and proper, and indeed should be encouraged... we are all made in God’s image and He loves us all....we are all brothers and sisters....etc etc etc....

approval of (or appearing to approve) or teaching that clearly sinful conduct is acceptable (where there is clear Biblical instruction on the matter) should NOT be taught or dispensed in any church or synagogue. Clerics who teach cause the several Biblical passages about wolves in sheeps’ clothing to come to mind. IMHO, such clerics should prayerfully review James 3:1:

Excellent critique of a heretical exhortation.

And Fr. Z says we have dodged Francis’’bullet.

It’s a shame that Catholics have to dodge bullets from their own pope. Yet Bergoglio has just fired head shots at all Catholics.
