Integration requires discernment, but the doors are open, even to the sacraments.

For Jesuits like Pope Francis, "discernment" is not a generic phrase but one with a specific meaning.

We are all "dogs" in some way, outcasts and sinners who need forgiveness, and that’s why we approach the altar.

“Pope Francis is a fascinating combination of a man in a hurry and a man who takes his time.”

Asked when the document might appear, Cardinal Parolin responded, “I don’t think it will be long. After all, it’s best to strike while the iron’s hot.”

“We are not only a teaching church but we are also a discerning church.”
