(On the Amoris Laetitia) So certainly, without the clarification of these questions, there is a potential of scandal. With regard to the question of heresy, one has to be very attentive to material heresy and to formal heresy. In other words, material heresy: are there actual statements in the text which are materially heretical? Are they contradictory to the Catholic Faith? Formal heresy: did the person—namely the person of the pope who wrote the document—intend to proclaim heretical teachings? And the last thing, I don’t believe myself at all. And I think with regard to the first question, the language and so forth is confusing and it’s difficult to say that these confusing statements are materially heretical. But they need to be clarified, and to refuse to clarify them could lead people into error, into radical thinking with regard to some very serious questions.

Vi prego di unirvi a me nel ringraziare Nostro Signore per l'elezione di Papa Leone XIV, Successore di San Pietro, a Pastore della Chiesa in tutto il mondo.Il Santuario di Nostra Signora di Guadalupe a La Crosse ha un legame particolarmente forte con il Romano Pontefice, soprattutto grazie alla sua affiliazione alla Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore. Esorto tutti i pellegrini e gli amici del Santuario a pregare con fervore per Papa Leone XIV affinché Nostro Signore, per intercessione di Nostra Signora di Guadalupe, di San Pietro Apostolo e di Papa San Leone Magno, gli conceda abbondante saggezza, forza e coraggio per fare tutto ciò che Nostro Signore Gli chiede in questi tempi tumultuosi. Che Dio benedica Papa Leone e gli conceda molti anni.
