Pope Leo’s Amoris Laetitia Summit: Doctrinal Confusion and a Secret Final Report

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Bishop Athanasius Schneider has criticized the apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, stating that certain provisions regarding application criteria deviate from Catholic doctrine.

Schneider claims the document modifies the doctrine that mortal sin prevents grace and charity from remaining in the soul. He notes that the text suggests the Holy Spirit can provide gifts and charisms to divorced and civilly remarried people, allowing them to function as living members of the Church while living contrary to divine law. According to Schneider, the exhortation asserts that individuals in irregular situations may not always be in a state of mortal sin, even if they know the rule, due to difficulties in understanding its values or concrete situations that prevent them from acting differently. Schneider described the document as an attack on the holiness of the Eucharist.
