Archbishop Sheehan: ‘Pastoral Care of Couples Who Are Cohabiting’

From In Light Of The Law Blog by Edward N. Peters, JD, JCD

Archbishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe NM has written a clear and concise letter on the ‘Pastoral Care of Couples Who Are Cohabiting’. I understand that he had it read from the pulpits of his churches last weekend. I think it a solid summation of the Church’s teaching on Catholic marriage, Christian witness, and ecclesiastical participation. 

Some have expressed surprise that the statement comes from a prelate whose opinions regarding Eucharistic discipline elicited opposition from, among others, me in 2009.Okay, well, isn't life full of pleasant surprises? All I know is, Archbishop. Sheehan’s 2011 statement is excellent. God bless him for writing it, and God bless those who read it.
