CWN Editor's Note: In a letter to the British author, Pope Francis has said that Amoris Laetitia is fully in keeping with the constant tradition of the Church. The Pope told Stephen Walford, author of Pope Francis, the Family, and Divorce, that “the Exhortation follows the classical doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas.” He said that his teaching develops “the magisterial hermeneutic of the Church, always in continuity (without ruptures), yet always maturing.”
