So, Cardinal Brandmuller, one of the “good guys,” has just issued a statement telling everyone to “interpret” the Joy of Secks according to traditional Catholic moral teaching.

[Auto-translated] “In view of the previous discussions will find special interest those paragraphs of the post-synodal letter, which deal with the problem of divorced and remarried. These are some basic clarifications. It is Catholic doctrine (dogma) that a valid closed and consummated marriage of any power on earth – not even by the Church – can be resolved. Jesus says: ‘What God has joined together, man must not separate.’ And: Whoever divorces his wife from the marriage and marries another commits adultery against her. Even a woman commits adultery when she divorces her husband and marries another marriage…

[…etcetera…]

The Post-Synodal Letter, “Amoris laetitia” is therefore to be interpreted in the light of the principles set out, particularly as a contradiction between a papal document and the Catechism of the Catholic Church is inconceivable.”

Yes. He used the word.

Go and read the rest, if you think it will make you feel better, but the point is already conceded.

Why?

Because a cardinal of the Church is admitting that a document from the pope has to be interpreted to be in line with Catholic doctrine.

The game is conceded, people.
