Poor Chicago. You would think they have enough problems and that sooner or later they might catch a break. Apparently not.

Read the story here.

I know that some Catholic traditionalists are going absolutely crazy over Amoris Laetitia, as if it were the end of the Church as we know it. As far as I can tell, even if interpreted in the loosest way possible, it still leave the Catholic Church the strictest of all on divorce and remarriage.

(Please do correct me if I'm not correct. I know little about Orthodoxy, but are the divorced and remarried more rigorously excluded from communion in Orthodoxy than in Catholicism?); 10/16/2016 4:15 PM

Chaput, has been passed over signifies that the Pope is only interested in his "yes-men" to be in positions of authority, especially in the college of cardinals to ensure that only liberation theologians are elected as pope.; 10/16/2016 9:44 PM
