"While the Catholic Church cannot bless unions that are not sacramental marriages, the church will always welcome and accompany everyone, no matter their situation in life. [...] It is essential and very important that we always open our arms to receive and to accompany all people in their different stages of life and in their different life situations. [...] We accompany all people. There are situations where there are people who are divorced and remarried. The church will accompany them with the hope that one day they will live totally in accordance with the church’s teaching. But I do want to insist that nobody, nobody must ever be excluded from the pastoral care and love and concern of the church."
