From what I read of the article, this doesn't seem to me like major news, in light of all the other novus ordo shenanigans. The Church has always wanted to regularize couple that were living in sinful arrangements. I think if there is anything novel or unseemly here, it would be the fact that the conciliar church is making a big 'show' of this. As I understand it, the Church always conducted these kinds of ceremonies privately, to safeguard the beauty of the Sacrament of marriage and to avoid causing scandal. Which is apparently the farthest thing from Bergoglio's mind. :/
