Archbishop who opposes Communion for remarried will lead US implementation of Amoris Laetitia

[_Abyssinia]

Archbishop Chaput has said that receiving the Eucharist must be preceded by turning away from serious sins

Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia has been named as chairman of the committee of US bishops working on the implementation of Amoris Laetitia, according to a statement from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The news sends a signal on the question of admitting divorced and remarried people to Communion. Archbishop Chaput has said that to do so, except when the divorced and remarried live “as brother and sister”, would be “departing from Catholic teaching”.

Smelling salts or not, we all need to keep with the continuity of Holy Mother Church’s teaching in all our daily lives during this tumultuous time! This is very very good news, but the fight ain’t over yet

However, Archbishop Chaput said that the Catholic Herald’s characterization was not entirely accurate.

“There is no policy dimension to what we are doing,” he said. “The bishops in the group are currently the chairmen of various committees and I am the chair-elect of the committee on Laity, Marriage, Family and Youth.”

So this group is just going to gather information on what various bishops are doing, not tell any of them what they should be doing, and definitely not lead any implementation.

You seem to have a good grasp of the USCCB.

That is probably the outcome, along with people ignoring what the document says in its entirety, and just ignoring Church teaching.
