The people helped by Amoris Laetitia are those who are either innocent victims or made one mistake.  There is a difference between a battered woman who remarries receiving Communion and a woman who carried on a relationship with a married man for six years being appointed Vatican ambassador.  I am all for Gingrich being forgiven, but it is hypocritical for people to be upset about some abuse victim receiving Communion while being okay with this.  It seems like it is all about the "paperwork" for some people and not about people's public character and actions.  The fact that Gingrich's husband was able to obtain the correct papers made her actions okay and permitted forgiveness while others who aren't so lucky aren't given that by the Church.
