The Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia has psarked a lively discssion. While many readers have perceived the text as liberating, others with mixed feelings have made pointed arguments about its meaning. Cardinal Kapser points out that it is based on the Gospel and the documents of the Second Vatican Council, is a creative renewal of the tradition that picks up and carefully continues the work of the last pontificates. In the service of "the Joy of Love", Kasper constructively conrtributes to the discussion while taking in all points of view.
