Magister features two addresses of Pope Paul VI in
Vatican Diary / What remains of Paul VI, soon to be beatified.
Excerpt from Paul VI addresses:
...meant to recognize publicly the authoritativeness of your pastoral notification and at the same time is meant to propose again with trustful respect for those who have at heart the unconditional fullness of love between the spouses, the firmness of the institution of the family, the dutiful protection and loving education of the offspring on the part of the parents, a subject more serious than ever.We will make a paternal appeal to the ecclesiastics and religious, to the men of culture and action, and to the many dear faithful and secular of Catholic upbringing who have not taken into account, on this occasion, the fidelity due to an explicit evangelical commandment, to a clear principle of natural law, to a respectful reminder of ecclesial discipline and communion, so wisely enunciated by this episcopal conference and validated by ourselves: we will exhort all of them to bear witness to their declared love for the Church and to their return to full ecclesial communion...The Kasper Agenda is a betrayal of past popes and saints. More so, it is against Christ's teachings. Pastoral care should be helping the sheepfold go back to the pasture and hear the voice of the good Shepherd.
