Per the document,
One must also avoid the risk of reducing the meaning of blessings to this point of view alone, for it would lead us to expect the same moral conditions for a simple blessing that are called for in the reception of the sacraments. Such a risk requires that we broaden this perspective further. Indeed, there is the danger that a pastoral gesture that is so beloved and widespread will be subjected to too many moral prerequisites, which, under the claim of control, could overshadow the unconditional power of God’s love that forms the basis for the gesture of blessing. 13. Precisely in this regard, Pope Francis urged us not to “lose pastoral charity, which should permeate all our decisions and attitudes” and to avoid being “judges who only deny, reject, and exclude.”
For years, Pope Francis has denied, rejected, and excluded any Catholic who loves the Latin Mass, who believes in the permanence of Truth, and who doesn’t go wild for every “innovation” he promotes. HE is the one who’s been a cruel judge.
Given that reality, how in the world can anyone suppress incredulous laughter when they read the syntax above?
The “document” is ...word poop...in my opinion.
Trying to make it sound good...abortion is Not killing a baby, it’s Health care... adultery is not a betrayal of purity...it’s expression of love...murder is not sinful...it’s getting rid of someone you don’t like...and on and on and on.....
ENOUGH.
