It monitors theological work to make sure it adheres to Church doctrine and issues guidance, clarifications, and corrections. Fernandez, 60, has written about 300 books and articles and is a past rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, where he was also dean of its theology department.
"The kiss is a meeting of the two in a moment in which there is nothing else besides them, and nothing else matters," Fernandez wrote in the book.
