[Grem] Amoris Laetitia

[Emoke Greschik]

Kedves Laci, k. Lista!
Alaposan elolvastam az első püspöki korrekciót és a két részes Patsch F.
írást.

Az elsőt kifejezetten világosnak találom, a másodikat figyelemre méltónak,
de egy alapvető hibát találok benne: Ami mindenféle affektív, kapcsolati
fejlődéssel kapcsolatos tényező fonotosságának, a lelkiismeret
érlelődésének fontosságának, a megkülönböztetés fontosságának elismerése
mellett is hibádzik, az az, hogy ezek a fontos szempontok mind nem törlik
el a "Ne paráználkodj" parancs érvényét.

Amennyiben két ember nem él érvényes egyházilag megkötött házasságban, az
azon kivül gyakorolt szexuális viszony, legyen az két polgárilag elvált
majd polgárilag újraházasodott, vagy két élettársi kapcsolatban élő
korábban nem házas, vagy két férfi v. két nő között, akármilyen bensőséges
kapcsolat is álljon fenn közöttük, ISTENI és nem is egyházi  parancsolat
ellen vétenek, ami kizárja őket az Oltáriszentség vételéből.

Alább bemásolok egy cikket, ami arra hívja fel a figyelmet, hogy az Amoris
Laetitia megengedő interpretációi mind az erkölcsi relativizmust fokozzák,
és a szexuális forradalom által a katolius hívők körében is okozott komoly
károkat erősítik, aláássák VI.Pál pápa Humane Vitae enciklikájának
egyértelmű tamítását a krisztusi szexuális etika tekintetében.

Szeretettel,
Mőci

There’s a movement to undermine Catholic morality – Communion is just the
start

Blessed Paul VI is pictured on copies of the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano
newspaper prior to his beatification Mass in 2014 (CNS)

*Modern-day Pharisees are trying to get round **the Church's teaching on
objective right and wrong. **Their next target?* *Humanae Vitae*

I am going to risk a prediction: 2018 will be the year we see an end to the
fighting over Amoris Laetitia.

This might seem rather presumptuous, given that *just this week five
bishops
<http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/news/2018/01/03/five-bishops-reaffirm-traditional-teaching-on-communion>
have underscored the Church’s traditional teaching** on the reception of
Communion* by the divorced and remarried. *The bishops’ statement is a
positive delight to read for its clarity of thought and expression *–
*especially
after **some of the tortured sophistries we have had to endure of late.*

The document unflinchingly reminds us that* some things are just wrong,* *and
no **amount of **personal reflection or mitigating circumstances can change
**that.*

Seeming to address directly the various interpretations of that *single
contentious footnote in Amoris Laetitia (the one Pope Francis cannot
remember
<https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/full-text-of-pope-francis-in-flight-interview-from-lesbos-to-rome-97242>),**
the five bishops quote St John Paul II: **“The confusion created in the
conscience of many faithful by the differences of opinions and teachings …
about serious and delicate questions of Christian morals, ends up by
diminishing the true sense of sin almost to the point of eliminating it.”*
This describes all too well the results, and I would say the intentions, of
many of the opaque and tendentious “pastoral” guidelines which have
followed Amoris Laetitia.

*The doctrinal errors in interpreting Amoris Laetitia are part of a serious
movement afoot in* *the Church** to undermine** her clarity of thought and
expression on the moral order, especially regarding marriage, sexuality and
personal conscience*. *What drives this movement? *Let’s be clear: it has
nothing to do with helping divorced and remarried Catholics. T*hose of us
who work in marriage tribunals, where canonists and priests have more
contact with such couples on a daily basis than most working in bishops’
conferences have in a year, can tell you that the divorced and remarried
are, in the vast majority of cases, desperately seeking clarity from the
Church,* not to be told to “do whatever they think is right.”

Those so vocally opposing a “legalistic” approach, in which some things are
objectively right or wrong, show themselves to be a peculiar kind of
Pharisee. *The law of the Church, including canon law, is made up of Divine
Law, which no power on earth can change**, and ecclesiastical law, which
the Church promulgates on her own authority to better help the faithful
understand their situation, live in accord with Divine Law and, ultimately,
get to heaven.*

*Contrast this* *with many of the “interpretations” **of Amoris
Laetitia* *which
call for the divorced and remarried to be admitted to Communion, even if
they are living as husband and wife.* Some are arguing that canon law can
be twisted to vindicate a person’s situation through their desire for it to
be different, even if they have no intention to change it. Essentially, as
long as someone wishes they were really married, or wishes they were able
to live according to the truth that they are not, that is close enough.

*It is a nonsense solution which, even if it could technically be argued to
satisfy** ecclesiastical law* *(which it does not)*, *would do nothing to
change the Divine Law regarding **the sinfulness of living with someone who
isn’t your husband or wife *as if they were. Those who think it could, do
so from a dangerously flawed and warped legalistic mentality, one which
thinks that the Church makes laws, and we get to heaven by following them.
In fact,* the Church uses law as a means of guiding us towards God’s truth,
not **reinventing **it.* *Canon law is* a tool, not a means of salvation.
It is *a light for our steps*. Those using tortured philosophical and legal
rationales to justify what the Church knows and says to be wrong are
marking out a very different path, with a different destination.

*The push for a change, or “development,*”* in Church teaching* *regarding
the divorced and remarried** has much wider implications. **The real goal
is to spin the Church into an abdication of* *her objective and absolute
moral authority, especially in the realm of human sexuality.* *The language
of “personal conscience” is being used to dress up the grave evil of moral
relativism.* *Those fighting for it are the remnant and inheritors of the
liberal generation of the 60s and 70s.*

Which brings me to the reason *I am predicting that the debates around
Amoris Laetitia will come to an end in 2018*. The reason is not that the
Communion issue will be resolved, but that the faction will move on to
their real agenda.* This year will mark the 50th anniversary of* *the
issuing of Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI’s affirmation of the dignity of
human sexuality, and the intrinsic and unbreakable link between the unitive
and procreative aspects of the sexual act.*

Last year the National Catholic Register’s Edward Pentin quoted
<http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/humanae-vitae-comes-under-fire> a
“well-respected Church figure” as telling him during the 2014 family synod:
“Of course, you realise* this is all about* *Humanae Vitae. That’s **what I
think they’re after. That is their goal*.” Pentin says the current mood in
Rome suggests his source knew what she was talking about. I have to agree
with him:* the efforts to “interpret” Amoris Laetitia and the Church’s
teaching on the indissolubility of marriage will prove to have been a mere
dress rehearsal for an all-out assault upon Pope Paul’s great encyclical.*

*At the time of the cultural and sexual revolution*,* the Church spoke
powerfully and prophetically against* *the inevitable consequences of what
was happening.* In the last half-century,* Paul VI’s encyclical has proven
<http://www.catholicworldreport.com/2017/11/28/paul-vi-prophet/> ever more
prescient and relevan*t.* It is a bitterly comical irony **that*, * just as
wider society is beginning to wake up to* *the consequences of a sexual
ethic based solely on consent and the pursuit of personal fulfilment,* *the
Church is having to defend herself against **those within who deny** not
just* *the Church’s teaching*, *but the last 50 years of history which have
so convincingly vindicated it.*
