Already, some conservatives have criticized Francis’ abortion initiative as running the risk that some might misinterpret it as a softening on the church’s opposition to abortion.
Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik said the decree has “opened the arms of mercy and hope to many Catholics who have suffered the pain of a failed marriage”. Bishop David Zubik of the Diocese of Pittsburgh said the new process does not change church teaching about marriage, but it “streamlines the procedures for determining whether such a covenant existed”.
