The pope’s ghostwriter: controversial archbishop penned key passages of Exhortation ten years ago https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-popes-ghostwriter-controversial-archbishop-penned-key-passages-of-exhor?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=63d698951a-LifeSiteNews_com_Intl_Headlines_06_19_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0caba610ac-63d698951a-326192106 Jeanne Smits, Mon May 30, 2016 May 30, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez Guttierrez has been presented as Amoris Laetitia’s ghostwriter since the beginning of 2016 at least: Vaticanist Edward Pentin quoted “well informed sources” at the time who named the rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina in Buenos Aires as the Apostolic Exhortation’s “chief drafter.” The publication of the deeply controversial document has all but formally confirmed this piece of information. This week, Vaticanist Sandro Magister, who blogs for the Italian newsgroup L’Espresso, published a comparison between Archbishop “Tucho” Fernandez’ former writings and the wording of several of Amoris Laetitia’s most disputed paragraphs — and footnotes. They click. Magister has unearthed “startling resemblances between key passages of the exhortation by Pope Francis and two texts from ten years ago by his main adviser.” So startling that he doesn’t even pretend to hypothesize about the implications: “A double synod for a solution that had already been written.” This is consistent with declarations by Fr. Claude Barthe to Corrispondenza Romana earlier this month. The French theologian, who has many connections in the Vatican, noted in his interview that Amoris Laetitia clearly intends to introduce a new element in Church teaching, and that “the text of the post-synod exhortation was broadly elaborated in September 2015, that is, before the start of the second Synod on marriage and family.”

While the article you link to has very much a "gotcha" tone, the quotes from Amoris Laetitia & Archbishop Guttierrez show the allegedly "controversial" aspects are based on teaching found in the Catholic Catechism. Perhaps the fault lies not in AL or the Archbishop's writings but in the great difficulty some may have in accepting the possible diminishment or nullication of imputability and responsibility for certain actions even though they remain objectively wrong. (CCC 1735)
