Description
Summary:This article analyzes the paradox that is found in Amoris Laetitia between a spirituality that goes bottom-up and a spirituality that goes top-down. Pope Francis tries to break this tension between the ideal and reality through a spirituality of the family that finds God in weaknesses, incapacities and even sin. Now then, when he makes reference to moral themes concerning spouses and families, he must start from a top-down perspective, that is, from a determined ideal that leaves out the phenomenological approach. However, the paradox finds ways of solutions through its conception of conscience and discernment.
