Some of Pope Francis’ pastoral moves, for example his making provision for the blessing of couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples, have drawn criticism and opposition from those who see this as deviation from precedent. However, the pope may actually be following the deeper precedent of Jesus. Father William Grimm shares some thoughts on this.
Produced by Binu Alex
