Cardinal Burke Addresses the ‘Dubia’ One Year After Their Publication| National Catholic Register

Much has been said about the dangers of the ambiguous nature of Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia, stressing that it is open to much interpretation. Why is clarity so important?

Clarity in teaching does not imply any rigidity, which would impede people from walking on the Gospel path, but, on the contrary, clarity provides the light necessary for accompanying families on the way of Christian discipleship. It is obscurity that keeps us from seeing the path and that hinders the evangelizing action of the Church. As Jesus says, “Night comes, when no one can work” (John 9:4).

I remember since the beginning there has been a great deal of pessimism surrounding the effect of Amoris Laetitia and this dubia. Yet here we still are. Cardinal Burke was moved from the Congregation for Divine Worship and put of the Knights of Malta. There was chatter about what that meant. Then most recently he was given a position in the Apostolic Signatura.

I would think eventually wiser heads would quit speculating about “meaning” and making predictions, dire or otherwise.
