The Archdiocese of Florence, Italy has instucted priests to uphold the traditional teaching that Catholics who are divorced and remarried cannot receive Communion, except in cases when they agree to live as brother and sister.
The guidelines for implementing Amoris Laetitia in Florence were set down by Cardinal Ennio Antonelli, the former president of the Pontifical Council for the Family, with the approval of the city’s archbishop, Cardinal Giuseppe Betori.
The policy in Florence differs from that in the Diocese of Rome, where Cardinal Agostino Vallini, the Pope’s vicar for the city, has said that in unsual cases a confessor may authorize divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Communion if living in sexual continence would be “difficult to practice for the stability of the couple.”

And that is going to be every couple. Instrinsic Evils are being compromised here. Not good.
