Give us your take on AL and I'll give you mine; they will be poles apart as will opinions through the Catholic Church. In such situations we, the faithful, look to the Pope to settle such disputes rather than create them. If the Pope, the Successor of Peter, Vicar of Christ on earth cannot give clear and unambiguous direction on a matter of Faith and Morals, where else do we look?
