CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Wim Eijk of Utrecht has said that Pope Francis must clarify the teaching of Amoris Laetitia, particularly on the question of whether divorced-and-remarried Catholics may receive Communion. The archbishop pointed to the contradictory rulings of different bishops’ conferences on that issue. “What is true in Place A cannot suddenly be false in Place B,” he said.

Good to see a not retired Bishop asking for the most important clarification. All Bishops need to become much more courageous in standing for the truth of the Faith. It would be totally absurd to think that asking legitimate questions about the very foundations of the Faith is somehow equal with an attack against the Vicar of Christ. Perhaps, this is the present work of the Holy Spirit: to show how unreasonably fearful, in matters of great significance, are today's successors of the Apostles.
