I agree that CCHD is not to be trusted and that the bureaucrats in the USCCB are wrongheaded. But that has nothing to do with this thread. From these excerpts, the pastoral letter on marriage sounds like it’s pretty hard-hitting. The change from intrinsically evil to objectively sinful and naming the sin in cohabitation outside marriage as fornication is pretty tough stuff in today’s environment.
Why not praise the bishops for doing something right instead of hammering away at CCHD? There’s plenty of other opportunity for the latter—start a new thread for that.
Or show where the marriage pastoral letter is flawed.
