      A Summary of Amoris Laetitia. The link to the complete text is there. It's going to take a while to read the whole thing.

        This seems like a good summary, but I'm not exactly the right guy to adjudicate that. :-)

        tl; dr:

        1. Be more open and accepting of different families.
        2. Commit the Lyrics to "Closer to the Heart" to memory.
        3. Divorce and remarriage are here, get over it.
        4. Rejecting people just drives them from the church; meet people where they are.
        5. Moral rules are in the service of shepherding people, not the opposite. (That was the sound of Benedict XVI having a fit.)
        6. Rules have to respect local community standards.
        7. We're still going to keep the rules, but as aims, not standards.
        8. If you don't teach kids about sex they'll do it wrong.
        9. Be patronizing to gays but don't throw stones at them. (The church has now moved from 1920 to 1970 which, uh, yay I guess?)
        10. Jesus H. Christ, stop driving people away, WE NEED THE DUES!

        Which if that's a fair summary is a great start.

                      And what, pray tell, are this *sculpture professor's* opinions about the grassy knoll shooter and the faked moon landing?

                            Does it really matter that Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo covered the same person? Does it matter that they did or did not have anything to do with Christ? All you need is the Word, not a relic.

                                Well, given that scripture is a hodgepodge of mutually contradictory directions, it's nice to have a little independent confirmation that it wasn't just some ignorant Middle Eastern hayseeds pulling stuff out of their butts, if you're going to try to build a theory of the universe around it.

                                Also: relics really bring the money in.
