Steven, is it not helpful to continue the dialogue?  My experience has been that people tire, and accept a resolution that stops short.  Fit it within the rubric of indissolubility if you like, but a rule that denies communion to those divorced and remarried without an annulment is a resolution that stops short.  It is for the benefit of the community, not the justice of God.  The dialogue should continue, and Francis is wisely continuing a dialogue that was in danger of being stillborn because of an overemphasis upon doctrine.

So anything that continues the dialogue is helpful.  The problem is the community, lost as a prodigal in the wilderness of the law.  Francis is taking a helpful step in emphasizing the pastoral to which doctrine is in service.  I would suggest another step is in order.  The community of the people of God should limit enforcement of doctrine to that which is truly necessary for good order in the community, thereby giving more room to teach and learn God's reign.
