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

things are objectively right or wrong, show themselves to be a peculiar
kind of Pharisee. <span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>The law of the Church, including canon law, is made up

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.</p>

<p>Which brings me to the reason <span style="background-color:rgb(246,178,107)"><b>I am predicting that the debates around
Amoris Laetitia will come to an end in 2018</b></span>. The reason is not that the
Communion issue will be resolved, but that the faction will move on to
their real agenda.<span style="background-color:rgb(249,203,156)"><b> This year will mark the 50th anniversary of</b></span> <span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>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.</b></span></p>
<p>Last year the National Catholic Register’s Edward Pentin <a href="http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/humanae-vitae-comes-under-fire" target="_blank">quoted</a> a “well-respected Church figure” as telling him during the 2014 family synod: “Of course, you realise<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b> this is all about</b></span><i> </i><span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)"><b>Humanae Vitae<i>. </i>That<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)">’s
</span></b></span><span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b>what I think they’re after. That is their goal</b></span>.” Pentin says the
current mood in Rome suggests his source knew what she was talking
about. I have to agree with him:<span style="background-color:rgb(234,209,220)"><b> the efforts to “interpret” Amoris
Laetitia and the Church’s teaching on the indissolubility of marriage
