De la Cruz is an "academic" who earned a doctorate in Bonn, Germany, and was rector of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra before Francis made him a bishop. One wonders, then, why he bothered Tucho with a question that could have been answered by anyone with even an elementary knowledge of the Catechism.
Correspondingly, Tucho presented the truism that "as for all other Christians, the sacramental confession of sins allows the person to approach Communion".
The problem began, however, when Tucho took the opportunity to belittle the Gospel: "Often, when commenting on the biblical episode of the adulterous woman (Jn 8:1-11), the last sentence is emphasised: 'sin no more'".
For Tucho, this crucial conclusion "does not constitute the central message of this Gospel pericope", which, he claims, "is simply the invitation to recognise that no one can cast the first stone".
Even for a simple believer, it is enough to read the text to see that Tucho's interpretation is wrong.
