'Amoris Laetitia'

Published on Commonweal Magazine (https://www.commonwealmagazine.org)

After a pair of gatherings in 2014 and 2015 for the Synod on the Family in Rome, Pope Francis in April 2016 issued the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia (“the joy of love”). The 52,500-word document takes up the work of the synod to reflect on Catholic marriage and family life, and on how the church ought to conduct itself in matters of morality.

Below, we’re featuring analysis and commentary on Amoris laetitia, both from our blog and with web exclusives. We’ll be updating this Amoris laetitia Reading List as new articles become available, so make sure to check back in the coming days.
