My great fear about the Francis era, which is obviously apparent in the pages of my book, is that if you take a step beyond that, if you say it’s not just that we need to have a merciful annulment process but also multiple avenues so that nobody feels unable to return to Communion after a second marriage, then you don’t have a teaching of indissolubility at all. And then the Catholic position is that [the pope is] just a sort of chaplain to the world, in a way that I think is ultimately deadly to Christianity.
