I find it at least curious that there are two hot topics swirling around Pope Francis lately, both of his own making.
One is the topic of this thread, regarding his heretical ramblings found in Amoris Laetitia. The other is his scandalous commiseration (to put it mildly) with the Lutherans. But what grabs my attention is that the two are not unrelated.
In fact, the very points of contention the 4 cardinals raise are very closely tied to the heresies of Martin Luther especially in regards marriage, confession, repentance and the appropriate reception of the sacraments.
One might even say that Francis has compromised his faith (ostensibly the Catholic faith) in such ways as to make him a de facto Lutheran.
Not entirely unrelated is the way Luther changed Rom iii. 28 by adding the word "alone." Well, actually, he changed more than one word. He also changed the grammar of the sentence from "by faith" to "of faith" and "of the law" to "by the law."
[28] For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law. (DRV)
‘We hold that man is justified without works by the law of faith alone’. (Luther's version)
