Five questions. Five answers. Five words, and all of this ends. These are very simple, direct questions about some fundamental teachings of the Church. And right now, no one but Pope Francis knows the answer. I look to the Church for guidance, as do untold millions of Catholics across the world. (And for a convert like me, it's especially important, since I don't have that "Catholic mentality" yet). When no one can agree on what the teaching says, it's incumbent upon the Pope to clarify. Again, five words, and this pointless conflict ends. It would take only seconds to help heal a growing divide in the Church.

And so can someone here please explain to me why this is still an issue?
