@DouthatNYT It's okay to breathe an ostensible sigh of relief, Ross.

@DouthatNYT The Pope, in any case, seemingly took your advice. http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/11/03/catholicism-for-the-time-being/ …

@crawlings13 I can't until tomorrow as haven't seen embargoed copy @DouthatNYT

@crawlings13 I hope so @DouthatNYT

@DouthatNYT Which has more powerful insights to explore: short 4500 word 10 yr old Regensburg address or 250 page #AmorisLaetitia?

@DouthatNYT Footnote 347 and the use of that passage in this conversation is a common misuse of the Angelic Doctor.

@crawlings13 Hope so.

@DouthatNYT I read the whole document today. Depending on how it is received, that footnote could split the Church.

@DouthatNYT @TrevinWax Pastoral care at odds with biblical truth is pastoral capitulation... which isn't pastoral care after all, is it?

@DouthatNYT @TrevinWax RC friends tell me how frustrated they are with church's lack of discipline. (1/2)

@DouthatNYT @TrevinWax Isn't this papal sanction for an undisciplined church? I'm not RC, but this seems like a theological calamity. (2/2)

@DennyBurk @DouthatNYT I'm working on a post with an evangelical take on this. It's weird watching it unfold from the outside.

@TrevinWax @DouthatNYT I look forward to reading it.
