Return to Tradition’s Amoris meeting claims fall short, and name the wrong cardinal
A Return to Tradition episode says Leo XIV's instructions were "totally ignored" at the Amoris Laetitia meeting and that Cardinal Reinhard Marx launched the push for Communion for the remarried. The evidence for the first is an outside essay; the second names the wrong cardinal.

Cardinal Ferrão described cohabitation as a reality. He did not say the Church must accommodate it

The “flirting” line at the Amoris meeting was a quoted provocation. Here is the context
LifeSiteNews says Sr Helen Alford "blasphemously claimed" that Jesus was initially flirting at the well. Her published text shows she quoted a fellow Dominican's deliberately provocative label for the first stage of the encounter.
