How many priests will now advise couples (and other clusters?!) in “irregular” relationships not to worry about sin, come on up to receive? How many bishops will direct their priests to do so? How many religious education courses will teach that is all a matter of conscience?
Before Pope Francis, most Catholics had never heard that they must be free of mortal sin in order to approach Christ in the Eucharist. Now the world believes the Catholic Church accepts divorce and remarriage. That is the message received through the media. It has not been corrected by Pope Francis. He could easily have been clear on this matter, but deliberately chose to be vague. No other conclusion can be reached other than that is exactly what he wants people to believe.
God help us.
