The key word here is "disjointed." If we try to teach these life-giving principles in a fragmentary way, not showing how they are related to a much larger, holistic vision of the holiness of God--- why then, it's just a bunch of incomprehensible shalt-nots.
Both you and Francis are echoing Joseph Cardinal Bernadin (Archbishop of Chicago from 1982 to 1996) and his infamous "seamless garment" argument. Bernadin in that period did tremendous damage to the Catholic Church.
Francis has just promoted another Joseph to be Archbishop of Chicago. I fear Cupich will follow in Bernadin's footsteps, with Francis' approval.
Oh, come on, Benedict himself spoke out on many, many, MANY issues other than contraception, baby-killing and buggery, and was never accused of “echoing” Bernardin. You don’t give the Popes (neither Benedict nor Francis) credit for having a comprehensive, Catholic view of morality. Like the Prophets of Israel and the Fathers of the Church, they speak not only to the bedroom, but to the Board Room and the War Room as well.
