Amoris laetitia

But is there anything that has surprised you that he has done that was sort of unexpected?

For some, some of the decisions he's made regarding one of the other reasons that I'm here in Rome, which is this conference on Amoris Laetitia, which is this controversial document from Pope Francis that had footnotes in there that seemed to open the door to allow Catholics who are divorced and civilly remarried to receive communion without marriage.

the benefit of an annulment.

So he's brought together bishops from around the world.

Katie.Hello. Hello, hello, and good beautiful morning to you right here on the Katie McGrady Show on the Catholic Channel, Sirius XM channel 129.

A beautiful morning right here in lovely Lake Charles, and supposedly a very beautiful morning in Rome, Italy, where just a little while ago, Cardinal Tagle presided over the concluding mass for the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, a meeting that has been unfolding for the past week.

Of course now, the Holy Father not present at because he is resting at the Gemelli Hospital up the hill from the Vatican, sometimes known as the Third Vatican.

We're grateful that you're with us on this lovely morning.

Nobody else is running the Vatican while he is in the hospital.

All the dicasteries kind of run themselves based off of the people that the Holy Father has appointed.

Cardinal Tagle presided over the closing mass for the Amoris Laetitia gathering today.

And we know that the Holy Father asked that the final document from that week-long gathering be postponed until he has a chance to read it and contribute his own thoughts.

Pope Leo reflected on the legacy of Amoris Laetitia in a homily at the Mass for the conclusion of the ecclesial meeting on occasion of the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia.

The Holy Father's homily was read by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the new dean of the College of Cardinals.

The Filipino cardinal presided at the liturgy in place of the Pope, who is, as we just heard, recovering in Rome's Gemelli Hospital following his surgery on Tuesday.

In Wednesday's homily, Pope Leo expressed the desire to take to heart the riches of Amoris Laetitia and implement its pastoral guidance, as Christopher Wells reports.

Today, as we celebrate the Eucharist, we offer to the Lord the fruits of the work we have carried out on Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo said on Wednesday, and we seek to take its riches to heart and put its pastoral guidance into practice.

The Pope's homily was read by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle at the concluding Mass of the Ecclesial Encounter marking the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on love in the family.

In his homily, Pope Leo reflected on the family as an affective, spiritual, and sacrificial union and an icon of God's love.

[sighs] Let's go here to our final story.

The Amoris Laetitia conference is wrapped up.

Thanks be to God.

It w- it was done.

The final bits of it were essentially led by Cardinal Tagle and a couple of others.

Cardinal Tagle offered the mass at the Amoris Laetitia conference.

And all it was was a conference where it was scandal upon scandal upon scandal.

They were celebrating 10 years of Pope Francis' document that essentially upended church teaching on marriage and the Eucharist, where the document allowed for the divorced and remarried Catholics to receive the Eucharist, divorced and civilly remarried, and other irregular situations that remained unnamed.

La gioia dell'amore che si vive nelle famiglie è anche il giubilo della Chiesa.

Così il Santo Padre Francesco, dieci anni fa, iniziava l'esortazione apostolica Amoris Laetitia.

Oggi celebriamo l'Eucaristia presentando al Signore i frutti del lavoro compiuto sul documento in questo periodo, cercando di assimilarne la ricchezza e di attuarne le indicazioni pastorali.

La liturgia odie-odierna ci offre al riguardo alcuni spunti di riflessione.

Ce lo ha ricordato anche il Salmo responsoriale, definendoci popolo e gregge di un Dio il cui amore è per sempre e la cui fedeltà si estende di generazione in generazione.

Di un Signore che ama senza mai tirarsi indietro, senza mai smettere di cercarci, di darci fiducia e di rinnovarci la sua amicizia.

È questa la carità che Amoris Laetitia ci invita a porre a fondamento delle nostre famiglie.

È l'amore vero al quale ci esorta, in modo particolare a educare i giovani che si preparano al matrimonio, insegnando loro l'importanza delle virtù, tra le quali un posto speciale assegna alla castità, condizione preziosa per la crescita genuina dell'amore interpersonale.

Pope Leo XIV has called on families to make charity the foundation of their lives, stressing the importance of prayer, participation in the Eucharist and the education of young people in virtues such as chastity as they prepare for marriage.

In a homily marking the tenth anniversary of the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, the Pope recalled that love lived within families is also a source of joy for the entire Church.

The homily was read by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the new Dean of the College of Cardinals, who presided over the Eucharistic celebration on Wednesday morning in St. Peter's Square in place of Pope Leo, who is currently hospitalized.

Christopher Wells reports.

Today, as we celebrate the Eucharist, we offer to the Lord the fruits of the work we have carried out on Amoris Laetitia, Pope Leo said on Wednesday, and we seek to take its riches to heart and put its pastoral guidance into practice.

I'm like, "Really? You got that right." Now, on May 21st in this interview published by an Italian outlet, the archbishop gave an extensive account of the reforms he carried out under Pope Francis at the Pontifical Academy for Life and the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family and Sciences, arguing that both institutions had to be transformed.

Whenever they say transformed, just know what they mean, changed, in order to align with the theological and pastoral directions promoted during Francis's pontificate, especially after the Synod on the Family and the publication of Amoris Laetitia.

So we were...

We knew this, but now we really know it because the archbishop makes it very clear.

You need to study your faith and know it, and know the perennial teaching so that when you see this false teaching coming across, you know what it is and you reject it.

One other thing, the Archbishop pointed out that Francis also criticized Pope Benedict XVI's defense of the non-negotiable values, describing it as part of a strong moralistic ascent based on abstract principles.

According to the Archbishop, however, the Pontifical Academy of John Paul II Institute has become places of pronouncement, doctrinal resistance to the papal teachings, which claimed to be more coherent with Christian truth than the outlines of Amoris Laetitia.

That's why people like Janet Smith and other moral theologians were sus- were s- were, were, were fired.
