Abstract

Francis`s Exhortation “Amoris laetitia” caused interest because of new pastoral approach to people who are divorced and those who have remarried. It also led to doubts and questions concerning the continuity of the Church`s teaching about marriage and family. Basing on the characteristics of the new Catholic paradigm presented by Cardinal B. Cupich, the study discusses the question of one of the possible forms of practising the approach indicated by Francis. The author tries to read Amoris laetitia by means of lectio divina and points to it as an appropriate way leading to recognition of the situation of people who got divorced or remarried and the possibility of receiving communion by them.

Keywords:
