Did Cardinal Ferrão urge the Church to accommodate cohabitation? What his address says

The words LifeSiteNews quotes come from the cardinal's description of trends in Asia: "(i) traditional joint and extended families are increasingly giving way to smaller, nuclear households; (ii) new forms of partnership and cohabitation are emerging, amid changing understandings of gender and relationships in urban settings; and (iii) the growing reality of interfaith marriages in our multi-religious societies raises new questions about the practice and transmission of faith within the family" (address). The address describes these as realities the Church faces. It doesn't say the Church "must accommodate" them.

The cardinal's conclusion says that "there is no single stereotype of an ideal family, but rather a challenging mosaic of diverse realities" (address). That echoes Amoris laetitia §57, where Francis wrote that "the Synod's reflections show us that there is no stereotype of the ideal family, but rather a challenging mosaic made up of many different realities, with all their joys, hopes and problems" (Amoris laetitia). In that passage the phrase concerns the variety of real families. It is not a rejection of Church teaching on marriage.
