Pope Francis on the Joy of Love: Theological and Pastoral Reflections on Amoris Laetitia

Pope Francis's document, Amoris Laetitia, is first and foremost a pastoral message aimed at transforming parish culture. Through this document, the pope calls parishes to consider seriously their practice of hospitality and how they reach out to people in their communities. Given this consideration, this book examines the pastoral dimension of the document--examining practical aspects of implementation, singling out issues each parish may need to flesh out--and provides end-of-chapter pastoral questions to guide parish communities in responding to this call.
