Cardinal Müller told the Italian publication Il Timone that church doctrine clearly prohibits divorced and remarried Catholics from receiving communion unless they abstain from sex, a position laid out in a 1981 exhortation by Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Müller also pointed to a 1993 encyclical from John Paul that warned against moral relativism.

When the president met Pope Francis in May, the Vatican discreetly reported that the topics "included a discussion of health care, education and assistance for immigrants, as well as the promotion of peace in the world through political negotiation and interreligious dialogue" and the Pope gave the president a copy of his encyclical on climate change.

"There is a real danger that we will leave future generations only rubble, deserts and refuse," The Associated Press reported Francis said at a Vatican conference that marked the third anniversary of his environmental encyclical, "Praise Be." The AP noted that the "Praise Be" document was meant to prompt action at the 2015 Paris climate conference.

In part, this is due to a wider focus — perhaps best expressed in Pope John Paul II's 1992 encyclical Evangelium Vitae (Gospel of Life) — on a "culture of life," an overall approach to social teaching on issues like abortion and medical care that holistically stressed the dignity of the human person from conception through (natural) death.

The pope and Pell have also seemingly fallen out over theological issues, with Pell — more vocally hardline on social issues than the pope — joining other cardinals in questioning the pope's handling of a 2015 synod on the family, and verbally supporting those who sent formal doubts, or dubia, to the pope regarding potentially gay-friendly language in his 2016 encyclical Amoris Laetitia.

Nor (just to explain its status) is it a full-blown encyclical, the high-level doctrinal declaration of the kind that was issued on the environment last year; technically it is an "apostolic exhortation" or a word of advice to priests, couples and families which sums up two major deliberations on the family which the pope has convened in the last couple of years.

I, for instance, am a proud son of the European Christian socialist tradition, especially in its rich British variant, as exemplified by F.D. Maurice, John Ruskin, William Morris, R.H. Tawney and many other luminaries (including, in his judiciously remote way, C.S. Lewis), but also in its continental expressions (see, for example, Pope Pius XI's encyclical Quadragesimo Anno, with its prescient warnings against the dangers of unfettered capitalism).

The first pope of the social media age, Francis was able to use an offhand remark (rather than, say, an encyclical or the proceedings of the synod) to galvanize international media attention: prompting a conversation about Catholic attitudes toward LGBTQ individuals while sidestepping the bureaucratic and doctrinal challenges inherent in any actual dogmatic reform (challenges that, as we will see, would become more apparent later in his papacy).

" Pope Francis's 2016 encyclical Amoris Laetitia ("The Love of Joy") contained a key footnote considering the idea that, "Because forms of conditioning and mitigating factors, it is possible that in an objective situation of sin — which may not be subjectively culpable, or fully such — a person can be living in God's grace, can love and can also grow in the life of grace and charity, while receiving the Church's help to this end.
