Cardinal: "Church Was Unjust Against Adulterers" - "Only Polygamy Is Adultery"
He admitted to LifeSiteNews.com (December 12) that "it is the position of the Church" that such adulterers are indeed adulterers: "If you don't come out of this sin of adultery, well, you can't receive the sacraments."
"But for me, adultery is when you have two people in your life at the same time."
And: "To say adultery in all situations was something that was not true or just. When you have a person who has - as I had recently - a person who was widowed, who after a while remarried to a person who was divorced: because in her life, she's not an adulterer, neither one nor the other is an adulterer."
Cardinal Vesco, referring to Francis’ document Amoris Laetitia, calls such a sinful life "love". He believes that the Church "can not afford" to defend marriage:
"And so it was simply good that the Pope gave Amoris Laetitia, which says to look at people's situations, to discern, and then, in the face of this to reconcile these people with the Church, to bring them back into the body of the Church.”
Cardinal Vesco considers a divorced marriage "an accident in life".
