text: Amoris Laetitia wasn't, as the article suggests, written by the Pope. It was written by a "some guy" in response to a messy meeting of hundreds of bishops. It, in itself, bears no real authority. It has spurred comments from Pope Francis, various bishops, priests, academic theologians, etc., and each of their positions deserves whatever respect they demand.  We're not teathered to the text of Amoris laetitia, though.
