I disagree with what this Archbishop is saying. Most people in the media and the public have recognized for instance there was no shift in doctrine. But at the same time there was a shift in pastoral sensibilities. And that shift is very important for LGBTQ Christians, divorced couples, and so on. 

This hard emphasis on the letter of the law is essentially the spirit of the Pharisees and Chief priests who Christ himself went against. It places doctrine over people, the Law over the example of Christ himself.
