The Magisterium's manner of expression does not seem very easy to understand at times. It needs to be translated by preachers and catechists

One can readily admit that the Magisterium's manner of expression does not seem very easy to understand at times. It needs to be translated by preachers and catechists into a language which relates to people and to their respective cultural environments. The essential content of the Church's teaching, however, must be upheld in this process. It must not be watered down on allegedly pastoral grounds, because it communicates the revealed truth.

 Concerning some objections to the Church's teaching on the reception of Holy Communion by divorced and remarried members of the faithful

 

This was written before Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI.
