Pope Francis Daily

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, archbishop of Westminster, has released a pastoral letter on Amoris Laetitia.

The cardinal says the exhortation “embraces the reality of our lives, and describes its tone as if the Pope is speaking with his arms around us.

Cardinal Nichols warns against reducing the exhortation to only polemical issues.

Instead, he suggests: Our study of this exhortation will take time and effort. For all of us it will be a great source of joy and encouragement. Please do read it, at home, together with loved ones. You too may share its beauty in tears of joy.

Here is the full text of the letter:
