What would God do? Would he want you to live with a philandering husband? A drunk, a beater, a criminal? Of course not. No reason you should be denied the sacraments.

Jesus said clearly and unequivocably that divorce is NOT allowed and that anyone who divorces and remarries is commiting adultery. That's not the conclusion of some Council or Synod. That's a direct statement by Jesus Christ who IS God.

Then why is there the practice of having anullments given in the Church?

Jesus said clearly and unequivocably that divorce is NOT allowed and that anyone who divorces and remarries is commiting adultery.

Except that isn't what the Lord said: Matt 19: 9 And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”[a]

[mdmathis6]

Jesus said clearly and unequivocably that divorce is NOT allowed,SAVING FOR THE CAUSE OF fornication, and that anyone who divorces and remarries is commiting adultery.

Actually, here is what he truly said....Matthew 5:31It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
