"It was especially brilliant of Cameli to point to two moments in the Gospels when Jesus addresses the subject of marriage. The first, found in both Matthew and Mark, shows Pharisees trying to catch Jesus in a bind, an almost perfect parallel for the dubia. The second, in John's Gospel, shows Jesus meeting the woman at the well, and his interaction illustrates the kind of accompaniment Pope Francis wants the Church to mimic. Jesus saves his anger for the doctors of the law but showers the sinning woman with kindness."

Again and again we see Good Pope Francis in the role of Jesus, while Burke is the pharisee trying to entrap him.  Like Jesus, Good Pope Francis is outwitting his tormentor at every turn.  The pharisees put one-dimensional legalism ahead of mercy.  Jesus puts mercy first.  Do these modern day pharisees serve the code of canon law or the Gospel?
