Description
Summary:The author proposes that Chapter Eight of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, as interpreted by Pope Francis, constitutes an exercise of the Pope's authentic magisterium. It clearly authorizes Reconciliation and Holy Communion under some circumstances for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, and is consistent with canon 915, even though it departs from the previous discipline to the contrary. L'autore propne che Capitolo VIII dell' Esortazione Apostolica Post-Sinodale Amoris Laetitia, come interpretata dal Papa Francesco, constituisce un'esercizio del magistero autentico del Papa che autorizza in alcune circostanze che i cattolici divorziati e civilmente risposati possono ricevere la Penitenza e la Santa Communione. Questo rispetta il canone 915, anche se si discosta dalla disciplina precedente contraria
