Questions on A.L. may be answered, but questions on divorce, remarriage and adultery have not been.  It still does not set right that the victim of bad conduct in a marriage, especially when it involves physical violence, cannot escape and find love again.  I am all for the abuser being barred from life from remarriage, but not the victim.  Mercy cannot ignore justice.

This essay does clarify one thing - that it reflects what most priests do anyway - thus taking the power away from the ordinaries and putting it with the pastors, where it belongs.  Only those jealous of their episcopal power are objecting.  I suspect they will find different roles in the Church before too long.
