But, from what I have seen of the document -- and echoed in your own post -- a key point made is that 'many' of the faithful are confused and this is a key motivation.
If that is the case then it surely is important to provide some evidence of what 'many' means.
Surely it is also relevant to observe that nearly all bishops have not expressed concern about the Popes document? And that is so for the cardinals too.
If the numbers are not important, then why make an issue of them?
Beyond that, you imply that the Pope has, in effect, challenged the 'truths of the faith'. That, I believe, is an assertion.
My countryman Cardinal Müller, I think, has said that nothing in Amoris Laetitia can be interpreted in such a way as to contradict previous teaching.
Is that not an end to the matter? Is that not a clear 'clarification' if one was needed?
As for your observations about 'treacle', we have a similar substance called Zuckerrübensirup but I'm not so familiar.
Thank you for your concern about warmth. Germans are good at keep warm. It is a matter of necessity.
