At the 10th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, Cardinal Raymond Burke has repeated themes of the necessity of defending the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony even to ‘martyrdom.’ “Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution,” he implored. The homily came as the Church marks the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ highly controversial post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia, which was released in the spring of 2016. Voice of the Family, for example, argued shortly after the document’s release that while some passages reflect Catholic teaching, others undermine doctrine on mortal sin, conscience, and the absolute exclusion of those living in public adultery from receiving the Holy Eucharist. For his own part, soon after the release of Amoris Laetitia, Cardinal Burke warned of growing confusion within the Church regarding the indissolubility of marriage and access to the sacraments.
