An international group of theologians and scholars released an academic statement on May 4 alleging inconsistencies in the Vatican s arguments against same-sex relationships, and urging the church to review its stance in light of modern research. When people suffer . because of doctrines, laws and disciplines, about whose correctness there are now well-founded doubts, the competent Church authorities have a religious and Christian duty to carefully and empathetically revise them, wrote theologian Fr. Krzysztof Charamsa, a former official at the Vatican s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in the foreword to the statement.

The ABs sent their guidelines to Pope Francis to ask whether their pastoral approach was consistent with the meaning of AL. Pope Francis replied in a letter on papal stationary saying that their “document is very good and completely explains the meaning of chapter VIII of
Amoris Laetitia”; he then stated, “There are no other interpretations.” The authenticity of the pope’s letter was verified on Sept. 12 by the Italian edition of
