"No other interpretation,"
The words of Jorge Berogoglio on the infamous chapter in Amoris Laetitia!
Now we know. Now we know what Bergoglio really thinks, there is no more doubting it.
Yet, there will be people, including in this combox, who will say, that he did not say this or that he said elsewhere, word that are perfectly orthodox. No. This is modernism and this is heresy. It only takes a drop of water to poison a litre of water. If you drink it, you will still die.
The Bishops of Buenos Aires have issued a document to their priests on the interpretation of Amoris Laetitia. The side-by-side, Spanish-English can be found at this link:

Read the document. There are phrases of ambiguity and then there is this:
6) In other, more complex circumstances, and when it is not
possible to obtain a declaration of nullity, the aforementioned option may not,
in fact, be feasible. Nonetheless, it is equally possible to undertake a
journey of discernment. If one arrives at the recognition that, in a particular
case, there are limitations that diminish responsibility and culpability (cf.
301-302), particularly when a person judges that he would fall into a
subsequent fault by damaging the children of the new union, Amoris Laetitia
opens up the possibility of access to the sacraments of Reconciliation and the
Eucharist (cf. notes 336 and 351). These in turn dispose the person to continue
maturing and growing with the aid of grace.
9) It might be convenient
that an eventual access to the sacraments be brought about in a reserved way,
above all when conflictive situations are foreseen. But at the same time one
must not cease to accompany the community, so that it might grow in a spirit of
understanding and welcoming, without creating confusion regarding the teaching
of the Church on the indissolubility of marriage. The community is an
instrument of mercy that its “undeserved, unconditional, and free” (297).
"Eventual access to the sacraments," for people who are in adulterous situations and who have no intention of rectifying it, or at least; as John Paul II taught, living as "brother and sister," if no other option were possible.
The bishops sent their report to the Pope. The full response translation can be read here:

The money quote is this:
"The
document is very good and completely explains
the meaning of chapter VIII of Amoris Laetitia.
There are no other interpretations. And I am certain
that it will do much good. May the Lord reward this
effort of pastoral charity."
There is no more doubt. Bergoglio is approving of sacrilege. He is licensing the "eating unto one's own condemnation." There is no more room for accusations that we are twisting his words or misinterpreting him or him being confused because something is not in his first language. He was quite clear in what he wrote, and what he meant.
Any Catholic cardinal, bishop or priest who aligns himself with Bergoglio in this interpretation of Amoris Laetitia will bear eternal consequences for those faithful deceived by this lie - a lie from the very Bishop of Rome. Did you ever think that you would live to see the day?
No more excuses. No, this is not dementia. This is not our mistake of what he said. He said it, and it is not Catholic.
Bergoglio has completed rebuked St. John Paul II in Veritatis Splendor:
"acts which, in the Church's moral tradition, have been
termed "intrinsically evil" [intrinsice malum]: they are such always
and per se, in other words, on account of their very object, and quite apart
from the ulterior intentions of the one acting and the circumstances.
Consequently, without in the least denying the influence on morality exercised
by circumstances and especially by intentions, the Church teaches that 'there
exist acts which per se and in themselves, independently of circumstances, are
always seriously wrong by reason of their object.'" " ... an attempt
is made to legitimise so-called 'pastoral' solutions contrary to the teaching
of the Magisterium ..."
The man must be denounced for his error and his heresy.
Catholics have been betrayed by Joseph Ratzinger, a coward who abandoned us. A father who abandoned his children. The man that has taken his place is not a spiritual father, he is the equivalent of the evil stepfather who manipulates and abuses his children.
No more excuses from any that Amoris Laetitia must be interpreted in the light of Tradition. No! Amoris Laetitia must be denounced along with the Pope who promulgated it. Enough of the excuses.
You bishops and cardinals are cowards. You will be held account for not confronting this Bishop of Rome to his face!
