Well, Thanks for Clearing THAT up!
Today, from the Catholic News Agency:
.- The controversy regarding Amoris laetitia has come to an end, according to German cardinal Walter Kasper. What is more, he has affirmed that the admission of remarried divorced persons to the sacraments in individual cases is, in his view, the only correct interpretation of the post-synodal apostolic exhortation.
Writing in an op-ed for the German language section of Radio Vatican, the prominent prelate asserted that “with the official publication of the letter from Pope Francis to the bishops of the Buenos Aires region, the painful dispute over the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia is hopefully over.”

Must faithful Catholics now give a ‘religious submission of mind
and will’ to Francis’s teachings on this issue?
Last week, Pope Francis made another move to advance his teachings on
Communion for the divorced and remarried.
In September 2016, the pope sent a private letter to bishops in Buenos
Aires to clarify his teachings on the issue, which he had expressed in
his apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. Now, the pope declared this
letter to be his “authentic magisterium,” which means it is one of his
official teachings.
Cardinal Kasper seems to be saying," Nothing to see here. Move along".
Questions surrounding divorce and remarriage have caused
controversy over the past few years. The perceived ambiguity of Amoris
Laetitia led four cardinals in September 2016 to sign the dubia — Latin
for “doubts” — which consisted of five questions asking Pope Francis for
clarification on his views. After being ignored by the Holy Father, one
of the signers, Cardinal Burke, said the cardinals will have to issue a
formal correction of the pope.
A year later, in September 2017, more than 60 Catholic scholars signed a
filial-correction document, which took a much harsher approach than the
dubia. The filial correction alleged that Pope Francis committed seven
heresies regarding his teachings on divorce and remarriage and moral
relativism.
One of the signers of the filial correction, Anna Silvas, told me via
email that Francis’s decision to put this letter to the Buenos Aires
bishops in the authentic magisterium shows that his intention is to
breach “the moral and sacramental truth of the faith.” She added, “You
cannot obey the disobedient,” referring to Francis.
