The Holy Father has blessed us by giving us the following in one year: the year of St. Joseph and the year of the Family with Amoris Laetitia as a guide. The anti-rigorist teaching of AL with its tracing of the process of pastoral discernment is a beautiful teaching in favor of the virtue of chastity and justice. Rigorism faults against chastity, because it blocks the process of discernment that virtue needs. The cruelty behind rigorism is unchaste, being sadistic. Sadism is the most diabolic form of unchastity.
