in may 2018, archbishop vincenzo paglia, president of the pontifical academy for life, compared the controversy surrounding "amoris laetitia" to that generated by "humanae vitae" in the 1960s. paglia stated that the care for injured family relationships found in "amoris laetitia" is rooted in the teaching of "humane vitae" on the "inseparable connection" between nuptial sexuality and responsible generation. paglia wrote that, without wanting to furnish a new general norm, pope francis invited the whole church to make further personal and pastoral discernment, which foresees, within a path of pastoral accompaniment and in specific cases, the possibility that a divorced and remarried couple access the sacraments, while maintaining a conjugal life to all intents and purposes. paglia wrote that pope francis' primary concern is the pastoral care of the family and that he does not deny or even diminish the commandment of conjugal fidelity because the work of personal and pastoral discernment may come to recognize that in an objective situation of sin a person may not be subjectively guilty.
