Cardinal<\/span><span lang=\"en\">\u00a0Odilo cites as an example the cases of couples who have lived together, but without the sacrament of marriage. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;Probably there is some economic reason, for example, or some cultural reason,&#8221; said the Archbishop, who added: &#8220;the Pope says that there are such circumstances, but that they need to be overcome.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Cardinal\u00a0Odilo also mentioned the time of exhortation in which the Pope asks for mercy with regard to these specific cases affecting so many families. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;Logic of mercy is that the Church does not exclude anyone, God does not exclude anyone. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Everyone wants to give the possibility of a full life. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;My first impression is this: the Pope wanted to talk of marriage and the family not from the requirements, but from another angle. He d<\/span><span lang=\"en\">oes not speak from the problems. He s<\/span><span lang=\"en\">tarts talking about what is good, what is love. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">I think that the Pope is very wise. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">It is pointless to want to cover all the holes when they lack another thing, which is the basic motivation, the joy of love, the family, &#8220;said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">About the problematic situations, some expect a &#8220;you\u00a0cannot&#8221;. Cardinal<\/span><span lang=\"en\">\u00a0Odilo said that is not so. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;There are standards, but they should not be applied cold as in a Cabinet. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">There is a pluralism also in application of the standards and judgement of situations &#8220;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">About communion to couples of second marriage, the Pope addresses, but, again, not with a &#8220;one can\/one cannot&#8221;, but with discernment, analyzing every situation, explained the Cardinal.<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">&#8220;What the Pope insists on greatly is in the pastoral accompaniment and discernment. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">There&#8217;s no &#8220;generic&#8221; can\/cannot&#8221;.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/noticias.cancaonova.com\/cardeal-de-sp-comenta-documento-do-papa-sobre-familia\/\">Translated from Portuguese\/ This is not an official translation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no generic &#8220;one can\/one cannot&#8221; says Cardinal\u00a0Odilo Scherer about the apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, Jessica Marshall Special Envoy to Aparecida (SP) &nbsp; The Archbishop of Sao Paulo, Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer, commented the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francisco&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15271],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17559"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17559"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17559\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17566,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17559\/revisions\/17566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.cancaonova.com\/catholicismanew\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
