Topsy and Tuptim at the Library Review Chapter Two of Amoris Laetitia

Chapter Two: Paragraphs 31-57

Topsy and Tuptim said what?

Topsy and Tuptim left the study group and decided to go to the library to exchange comments. They set up camp in a meeting room where they can eat lunch. From her bag Topsy pulls out two bologna sandwiches, a thermos of coffee, two mugs and napkins. She sets the table for a working lunch. They both spread out their highlighted copies of Chapter Two of Amoris Laetitia. 

Topsy: Fr. Jimmy was sure in rare form this morning in his intro. One more gushing adjective and I would have run to the bathroom, especially when he said the pope is calling us all to get away from "rigid orthodoxy" to become more "open, expansive and inclusive with equality and justice for all." Sounds like the pope is Superman! And what do all those adjectives mean anyway?

Tuptim: Sr. Joanie was even worse in our small group. She said the doc didn't go far enough, She loves that it shows unconditional love (mimics Sr. Joanie) "for the amazing diversity of God's people, but it really falls short in offering positive change for gays and women. (raising her arm like the Statue of Liberty) The Church is not a list of rules; it's the people." (In her normal voice) Good grief, she went on and on about the Church discriminating against gays and women. You'd think every parish had a gallows.
