The debate over Amoris Laetitia has continued, after an article in the Vatican newspaper said the document required “religious submission of will and intellect”.
The article in L'Osservatore Romano, by Spanish ecclesiology professor Fr Salvador Pié-Ninot, argued that Amoris Laetitia was part of the "ordinary magisterium" and that Catholics should respond with "the basic attitude of sincere acceptance and practical implementation."
But Kurt Martens, a professor of canon law at the Catholic University of American in Washington D.C., told the Catholic Herald that different parts of a document may require different kind of reception.
