“The first problem Weinandy points to is Chapter 8 of "Amoris Laetitia," which deals with the role of conscience and discernment in guiding divorced and remarried Catholics.”

Personally think that the AL Chapter 8 footnote is at the heart of the issue...it allows for personal conscience and these guys can’t handle the concept....

Speaking in the 21st century, ripe with social science learning (as opposed to the 13th century) think that morality can be understood in stages of human development and growing autonomy and responsibility (hopefully) ...think theologians would profit from some serious study of these matters! Which just might enlighten their understanding of the issue of personal conscience, degree of freedom involved et al....

Think these guys are essentially social science Neanderthals.
