Conscience and Amoris Laetitia.

Recently, Cardinal Cupich  suggested that the correct reading of Amoris Laetitia is that subjective conscience is the final arbiter of morality.  This leads to Three crises in Catholic Teaching  because it removes Catholic Teaching from the realm of objective fact, and substitutes subjective feeling. Archibishop Sample has already anticipated these issues , and his encyclical, A True and Living Icon, is the ultimate antidote to the confused mess that is subjective conscience interpretation on this topic.  For this blog, as I get more time to work on it later in the spring and this summer, it is Archbishop Sample's interpretation, not Cardinal Cupich, that is my standard for marriage.
