If at times in the past, love shone forth too little in the explanation of the truth, so today the danger is great that in the name of love, truth is either to be silenced or compromised. Assuredly, the word of truth can be painful and uncomfortable. But it is the way to holiness, to peace, and to inner freedom. A pastoral approach which truly wants to help the people concerned must always be grounded in the truth. In the end, only the truth can be pastoral.

The folks in Rome pushing the agenda for the divorced and remarried must not have read this.

Nor did they read Pope John Paul II’s encyclical on the Family.

Sorry, it wasn’t an encyclical, but an exhortation.
