Should sinners conform to the Church’s moral ideal - or should the Church move closer to them?
Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David of the Philippines addressed the Vatican’s 10th-anniversary Amoris Laetitia meeting on October 12 in a video presentation.
He said the exhortation encouraged pastors “to discern concrete situations rather than begin with classifications, to accompany gradual growth, and to trust that grace can already be at work even in lives and relationships marked by weakness and incompleteness.”
And: “Not simply to ask how close families are to the ideal, but also how close the Church is willing to come to families in their actual struggles.”
During the Vatican's meeting, terms such as “weakness,” “incompleteness,” and “vulnerability” are used as blatant euphemisms for adultery and other sexual sins.

The synodal "fathers", aka heretics, need to learn that God did not give Moses His "Ten Ideals"; He gave Moses His "Ten Commandments".

I would change the question:
Should sinners conform to Christ’s moral ideal - or should Christ move closer to them?
Ultimately, its not about our relationship with the Church.
“Should sinners conform to Christ’s moral ideal - or should Christ move closer to them?”
Ya. You can put a lot of comparisons in here
Should the U.S. conform to the constitution - or should it move closer to Islam?”
No. Because Islam will take over and demand by sword
The thing is this- the Catholic Church is not a democracy. It follows Jesus. Jesus lives but He does not change.
Latin is a metaphor. Latin is not in use as a communicative language. It doesn’t change. It’s powerful because of that
