text: This is a most useful and well developed article I've read here in a long time, meaning that it truly illustrates the wonderful view forward that so many Catholics have waited for.  The discussion of Amoris Laetitia must be wider, and fill the Church with insights such as the ones being expressed at this conference.  I am really of the opinion that those who so vehemently oppose this apostolic exhortation are caught in an evil spiral that would serve to collapse the Faith entirely.  This pope was sent to us - as the Holy Spirit has done throughout our history from time to time - to show us ways to avoid our own blind obedience to an organization rather than to Christ Jesus.  The larger question is: will the USCCB make use of the holy understanding of AL from the conference to move on from the safe place of power and control?  Will the laity assert its own power and gifts in new ways at the same time?  It is clear that pastors have a lot of work to do.  Seminaries, too.
