We arrive at the end of Chapter Eight. A conclusion of sorts:
312. This offers us a framework and a setting which help us avoid a cold bureaucratic morality in dealing with more sensitive issues. Instead, it sets us in the context of a pastoral discernment filled with merciful love, which is ever ready to understand, forgive, accompany, hope, and above all integrate. That is the mindset which should prevail in the Church and lead us to “open our hearts to those living on the outermost fringes of society”.(Misericordiae Vultus 15)
Some particular advice:
I encourage the faithful who find themselves in complicated situations to speak confidently with their pastors or with other lay people whose lives are committed to the Lord. They may not always encounter in them a confirmation of their own ideas or desires, but they will surely receive some light to help them better understand their situation and discover a path to personal growth.
What do you make of the advice to approach “committed lay people” when in difficulty?
Advice for shepherds:
I also encourage the Church’s pastors to listen to them with sensitivity and serenity, with a sincere desire to understand their plight and their point of view, in order to help them live better lives and to recognize their proper place in the Church.
Thoughts, now that we’ve finished off this chapter on “Accompanying, Discerning, and Integrating Weakness”?

Those actually are great pieces of advice to the laity and clergy.
Of course they are. But the complainers will possibly miss them because they are fixated on sex.
