Amoris Laetitia – A Conversation with Dr. Italy

In this video webinar of approximately 75 minutes, Dr. Matthew Bunson of the Catholic Distance University (CDU), initiates a conversation with two other CDU professors, Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio (Dr. Italy) and Dr. James Kruggel, on Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation on Marriage and the Family, Amoris Laetitia.

Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation on the Family, Amoris Laetitia, has been much discussed in the religious and secular press, with most of the discussion revolving around the issue of whether divorced and remarried Catholics may be admitted to holy communion.

The professors in this conversation point out that this document addresses the issue of the pastoral care of the divorced and remarried in the much larger context of the challenges facing marriage and family around the world in this moment in history and how the Church can best proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and apply the teaching of the Church in a way that builds strong marriages that serve as the foundation of strong domestic churches.
