On April 7, 2016, Pope Francis released the apostolic exhortation "Amoris Laetitia" ("The Joy of Love"), which addresses marriage, family, divorce and other important modern issues. While no changes in doctrine are asserted, Pope Francis calls for a new pastoral and more humane tone in the Church in dealing with these issues, a more merciful stance, in keeping with the themes of the current Holy Year of Mercy. This guide brings together many sources of information and responsible opinion on this important and influential document.
