The edits suggested by the CDF were ignored.

The latest exhortation released a few weeks ago didn’t even get run by the CDF.

Did they imprimatur it?
Its just appalling if Pope Francis published without it 😂.

[ note: this statement is incorrect: “That Francis removed Cardinal Burke as head of CDF before the synod shouldn’t be forgotten. “]

The writing is far from clarifying or brilliant but the political moves are the stuff of “House of Cards”.

Is this what you find objectionable?

The Synod Fathers noted that “special discernment is indispensable for the pastoral care of those who are separated, divorced or abandoned. Respect needs to be shown especially for the sufferings of those who have unjustly endured separation, divorce or abandonment, or those who have been forced by maltreatment from a husband or a wife to interrupt their life together. To forgive such an injustice that has been suffered is not easy, but grace makes this journey possible. Pastoral care must necessarily include efforts at reconciliation and mediation, through the establishment of specialized counselling centres in dioceses”. At the same time, “divorced people who have not remarried, and often bear witness to marital fidelity, ought to be encouraged to find in the Eucharist the nourishment they need to sustain them in their present state of life. The local community and pastors should accompany these people with solicitude, particularly when children are involved or when they are in serious financial difficulty”. Family breakdown becomes even more traumatic and painful in the case of the poor, since they have far fewer resources at hand for starting a new life. A poor person, once removed from a secure family environment, is doubly vulnerable to abandonment and possible harm.

Yet in the diocese of Rome itself there are now provisions for couples in objectively illicit relationships to receive under certain circumstances.
