Marquette University doesn't seem to "get" the direction of the Church under Pp. Francis.
See, in his latest letter, Pp. Francis implies that 'a firm purpose of amendment' is not a pre-requisite for "mercy" and forgiveness. In fact, there may not even be a need to say "I'm sorry."
Marquette--in the case of McAdams? Not so much.
The essence of God does not depend upon the caprice of man. There is a distinction between God's mercy and our disposition to receive its graces. God's mercy is not a cookie held out to us for good behavior. The friends of Thomas get that.
