If we speak explicitly about communion for the divorced and remarried, said Archbishop Forte, reporting a joke of Pope Francis, you do not know what a terrible mess we will make. So we wont speak plainly, do it in a way that the premises are there, then I will draw out the conclusions.
Typical of a Jesuit, Abp Forte joked, attributing to that suggestion a wisdom that has allowed the maturation necessary to conclude that Amoris Laetitia, as Abp. Bruno Forte explained, does not represent a new doctrine, but the merciful application of that [the doctrine]of all time.
As Forte reports, Francis jokes about sacrilegiously giving Holy Communion to unrepentant adulterers by making a " terrible mess".

It was such thinking that led Pascal to write the Provincial letters.

It is not sinful to pray that the Pope enter eternal happiness, as soon as possible.
Pray that a new Pope may be elected soon, and that he will be a Catholic who will teach the truth, and wake up the people of the West to the Marxist, Muslim, enviro-wacko, genocidal, collectivist enemy who is making war on the Catholic Church, on all Christians, and Western Civilization.

The
Cathechism says it pretty plainly: "1665 The remarriage of persons divorced from a living, lawful spouse contravenes the plan and law of God as taught by Christ. They are not separated from the Church, but they cannot receive Eucharistic communion."

What is most important to note is the fact that Forte, by Francis personal choice and appointment Special Secretary to the Synod, is stating publicly, and without apparent concern for consequence that the Pope intentionally manipulated the synodal process against the will of the Bishops to get an outcome that he knew would not be otherwise acceptable. I am sure the deniers will be along any minute now.
