For me, Pope Francis is lending credibility to the Church as one may, if he or she so wishes, perceive the work of the Holy Spirit in his words and actions. This does not mean that everyone must accept uncritically everything he says because he said it. It is more a matter of spiritual discernment. The search for certitude in Canon law is doomed to failure. 
    If one reads the words of Jesus in the Gospels he explicitly says that His teaching on marriage is for those to whom it is given-not everyone can accept it. Those who can, do. Uta Rankh Heinemann, a German theologian who took the Church to task for its historical denigration of marriage in EUNUCHS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD has suggested this very thing, which is a credible reading of the Gospel text instead of assuming that it refers to making oneself a eunuch as Origen took to extremes with self-castration. No-one in authority has accused him of sinning against nature by so doing. They well might do so.
