I received this email from a friend today and have to say her priest friend pegged it. Here's what she wrote:

A priest friend of mine took one of Pope Francis’s quotes on “irregular marriages” and substituted. It cuts to the chase. See below:

(Original) For this reason, a pastor cannot feel that it is enough simply to apply moral laws to those living in “irregular” situations, as if they were stones to throw at people’s lives. This would bespeak the closed heart of one used to hiding behind the Church’s teachings.
