So, according to the new casuistry, if someone has only recently divorced his wife and “remarried,” inflicting “suffering and confusion that affect children and whole families,” he cannot receive Holy Communion. But once the same public adulterer invests a few years in his “second marriage” and has one or more children with his “second wife,” he fulfills the casuistical criterion of “a concrete relationship” in which he has “established a family over time.”

So in other words, the more one remains in a state of mortal sin by committing adultery, the more grace one receives, until he is finally re-admitted to Holy Communion.

Welcome to the new francischurch and his "god" of surprises.

Divorced - sure - and add “engaged” while cohabiting, (they have a new nice term for this I forget) - well it’s good too for anyone shacking up - well, gay partners also need discernment - and by the by priests don’t have sensitivity or time to mess with this high demand for partner counseling, so now turn it over to lay pastoral volunteers. (Of course, I wonder, isn’t this all really to mainstream gays in the church?)
