What then is Pope John Paul II\u2019s exhortation about?<\/p>\n
John Paul II explains human sexuality as a \u201creal symbol for the giving of the whole person,\u201d\u009d and namely, \u201cwithout every temporal or other limitation.\u201d\u009d He thus formulates very clearly in article 84 that remarried divorc\u00c3\u00a9s must refrain from sex if they want to go to communion. A change in the practice of the administration of the sacraments would therefore be no \u201cfurther development of Familiaris consortio,\u201d\u009d as Cardinal Kasper said, but rather a breach in her essential anthropological and theological teaching on marriage and human sexuality. The Church has no authority, without prior conversion, to approve disordered sexual relationships through the administration of the sacraments, thereby anticipating God\u2019s mercy – regardless of how these situations are to be judged on a human and moral level. The door here \u201d\u201c as with the ordination of women to the priesthood \u201d\u201c is closed.<\/p>\n
