"There are "many, many, always, even in the church today," the pope said. "They say, 'No, no you can't, it's all clear, they are sinners, we must send them away.'""

Just who are these "many, many" people/priests who want to "send (sinners) away"?  Preserving the sanctity of the Eucharist and leading sinners to repentance and conversion is an act of Mercy.
