Forty-five theologians and clergymen have written to cardinals asking them to request a clarification from Pope Francis that Amoris Laetitia doesn’t contradict Church teaching.
The letter, which has been seen by the Catholic Herald, stresses that it “does not deny or question the personal faith of Pope Francis”. It also praises “valuable elements” in Amoris Laetitia which “make an important contribution to the defence and preaching of the faith”.
The signatories say that, in order for these passages to be truly effective, there should be a clarification of other passages which could mislead some readers. These are given a close theological reading.
