Cardinal Woelki has praised the eighth chapter of Amoris Laetitia that loosens restrictions on allowing Communion: “Neither dogmatism nor arbitrariness lead to the goal, but only persistent devotion in the spirit of Christ, that mercy which is not cheap grace, but places the heart alongside reason.” However, he still views it as an issue for the internal forum and believes discernment should be carried out “in discussion with the confessor.” The cardinal also has yet to clarify whether he accepts allowing Communion in a remarriage only if the partners live as brother and sister (cf. Familiaris Consortio), or whether he also considers the situation of living more uxorio to be possible, as some interpreters of Amoris Laetitia prefer.
