I think that Amoris Laetitia is not an attempt to change the fundamentals of moral teaching, but is a correct nuancing of pastoral application. Pope Francis has not been silent on the German Synodal Way- he may not have denounced it as you might like, but it's simply not true to say that he has been silent.

I think people who are paying attention to what he says are aware that he is not trying to change the Church's definitive teachings- see for example Mary McAleese at the Root and Branch "synod" calling him an ultraconservative who will never support what they want.
