Wise words of Pope Francis

In  Amoris Laetitia - The Joy of Love Pope Francis writes:

"Christian communities must not abandon divorced parents who have entered a new union, but should include and support them in their efforts to bring up their children." (246)

"It is important that the divorced who have entered a new union should be made to feel part of the Church. 'They have not been excommunicated' and they should not be treated as such, since they remain part of the ecclesial community." (243)
