On Friday 9 February Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, delivered the 2018 Annual Von Hügel Lecture on the topic: ‘Pope Francis’ Revolution of Mercy: Amoris Laetitia as a New Paradigm of Catholicity’. In the lecture the Cardinal discussed six hermeneutical principles for reading Amoris Laetitia which he argue lead to a refreshed basis and framework for the Church’s pastoral ministry to families and those in relationships.
