Amoris Laetitia: Evelyn Waugh would have to re-write Brideshead

Considering the perpetual motion spin machine that Catholic media has now become, Guy Noir imagines an open letter to Fr. Barron beginning like this:
Dear Fr. Barron:

Inquiring Protestants want to know ...


"Evelyn Waugh Would Have to Re-Write Brideshead" (Old Life, April 13, 2016):
Phil Lawler wonders about the pastoral implications of Pope Francis’ pastoral advice in Amoris Laetitia....

... Now notice what happens to priests in these parishes when they meet a couple that has been re-married ... Now imagine the real life (fictional couple) of Rex Mottram and Julia Marchmain ...

... Evelyn Waugh knew that the Church of England had changed (even when dogma hadn’t). Do Roman Catholic apologists think Waugh wouldn’t notice this?

What if Cardinal Burke and Fr. Zuhlsdorf said that there are no known exceptions to Catholic moral and salvation theology ?.Would they lose their religious faculties in Rome?
