Pope – in an improvised speech in the Basilica of St. John Lateran – said in the pastoral care of families can not be used rigor and the abstract, divorced from life statement.
Opening on Thursday evening exit the Diocese of Rome stated that there is “mathematically precise” doctrine. Francis stressed that the need to look into specific life situations and cases.
He explained that during the two synods devoted family needed a “do not respect diplomatic or politically correct, but full of concern and sincere questions, whose purpose was concern” about the family.
According to Father Holy items that are “conclusions well formulated, but devoid of life” and “abstract” and ideologizowanie faith through carefully developed systems to “ignore grace.”
You have tirelessly “to seek God’s presence in the changing history.”
“Avoid principled declaration”
Speaking to priests , catechists, pastoral workers pope called for it to “cover all the specific situations” and family meet and those who do not come to the parish.
Restricting to those who attend – rated – it would be too easy .
Francis urged “not to abandon someone because he does not become equal to the task, what is expected of him.” He asked not to place any “fences” and does not lead “pastoral ghettos”. It is necessary – he noted – “evangelical realism.”
– It does not mean to be a clear doctrine – he explained. He said that should be avoided “principled declarations” and “falling into judgments and attitudes that do not account for the complexity of life.” You have to “get your hands dirty,” as Jesus.
According to the Pope should be rejected in its approach to the families of the rigor and excessive indulgence. You always have to “leave room for the conversion of another, and not to condemn immediately.”
“Informal compounds may have the grace of marriage”
The Holy Father recalled his experiences with the time of the ministry of the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, admitting that there were pastors, who did not want to baptize the children of young single mothers.
One of the consequences of such attitude of some priests are – according to the Pope – “the terrible decline in births,” also in Italy.
– Most marriages sacrament is invalid, because people say “yes” for life, but they do not know what they say – said Francis.
More important than the sacrament of marriage – he added – he is to “dress the bride fit in the church,” and “that the restaurant was close.”
He confessed that he had seen faithfulness also in informal relationships, citing parts of Argentina, where people do not take because of prejudices and fears before the wedding.
He expressed the opinion that such compounds are “real marriage.” – They have the grace of marriage because of faithfulness – he said.
