- Title
AMORIS LAETITIA: COMMENTS FROM AN INTERCHURCH FAMILY PERSPECTIVE.
- Authors
Reardon, Ruth
- Abstract
The Joy of Love is encouraging for interchurch families. Nothing negative is said about mixed marriages (between baptised Christians), and they are clearly distinguished from other kinds of mixed marriages. There are positive references to their contribution to the ecumenical movement, to pastoral co-operation between Catholic and other ministers, and to possibilities for Eucharistic sharing for spouses who share the sacraments of baptism and marriage. The document has much to say on vocation, accompaniment, and pastoral discernment that is relevant to interchurch families. Pope Francis' post-synodal words to a Lutheran wife are examined in the light of the exhortation.
