Never mind found it.

The two paragraphs before read:

“The See of Peter, that is the Sovereign Pontiff, is the guarantee of the unity of Apostolic faith and sacramental discipline. Considering the confusion which has come to be among priests and bishops in the sacramental practice as much as regards the ‘divorced and remarried’ and as much as regards the interpretation of AL, one can consider legitimate an appeal to our dear Pope, Francis, the Vicar of Christ and « sweet Christ upon earth » (St. Catherine of Sienna), so that He order the publication of an authentic interpretation of « Amoris Laetitia », which should necessarily contain an explicit declaration of the disciplinary principle of the universal and infallible Magisterium in regarding to the admission to the Sacraments (sic) for the ‘divorced and separated’, as it has been formulated in n. 84 of Familiaris Consortio.

During the great Arian confusion of the Fourth Century, St. Basil the Great made an urgent appeal to the Pope of Rome to indicate with his own words the clear direction to obtain finally a unity of thought in faith and charity (cf. Epistle 70).”

I read it that he is calling for the Pope himself to provide an authentic interpretation of AL, not for each priest or bishop to have his own interpretation of it. While the word “correction” or “clarification” would be preferred, the intent is the same.

So, in other words he is saying everyone's misinterpreted poor Francis. Francis will clear it all up! Uh-huh.

Exactly like Vatican II. For 50+ years everyone's been misinterpreting it....even all the bishops and popes.
