The cardinal said that if the Pope had wanted to change the discipline, he would have given a full explanation

No, that's not how it's done. The discipline can not be changed without rupture and provoking schism since it would fly in the face of Familiaris Consortio amongst other documents. The Pope wants to change pastoral practice, first and foremost. The discipline can wait and will play catch-up once pastoral practice has rendered it obsolete.

That's the modernist template; change by stealth and incrementalism. Muller is either obtuse or is trying to paper over the cracks.

I really want to learn more about Church history. Catholicism is so darn fascinating.

#ALConf — International Conference to condemn ‘Amoris Laetitia’: June 25th

A Pilgrimage of Grace & Mercy
Rome, May 2, 2016 A.D.: Veri Catholici, announces that it will hold a Conference/Manifestation in Rome, on Saturday June 25th to condemn the errors contained in the papal document, Amoris Laetitia, and demand in the name of all that is holy and true in the Catholic Religion, that the document be rescinded and that its authors and supporters repent publicly and undo the scandal they have caused.

Veri Catholici, an international association of Catholics dedicated to opposing the errors promoted by Cardinal Kasper, is calling on all Catholics in the world to join us in Rome to condemn the document Amoris Laetitia and its many errors, and to demand from the Pope and Sacred Hierarchy that the document be withdrawn and its errors condemned, formally and canonically.

We intend this conference to be a universal manifestation of the true Sensus Fidelium of Christ’s Mystical Body. We believe it absolutely necessary to take this initiative for the good of Holy Mother Church and the salvation of souls...

I think you are being too hard on the good Cardinal. I think both he and Cardinal Burke are taking the long view and laying the arguments as to why Francis’ Amoris Laetitia does not trump the Magisterium of St JP II in Familiaris Consortio and indeed the traditional teaching od Christ and the Church. It is necessary work, and is not in opposition to those who point out substantive problems with the AL text like Bishop Schneider. I’m glad both fronts are being pursued.
