Although the Catholic Church has taught since its inception that marriage is between one man and one woman for life, the new superior of the worldwide Jesuit religious order, Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, claims that despite Jesus Christ's words about marriage (Matthew 19: 3-9), "no one had a recorder to take down his words," which must be "contextualized," and that doctrine implies a "hardness" like "stone" while "human reality is much more nuanced" and "never black and white."
Fr. Absacal, from Venezuela, was elected superior of the Jesuits, the Society of Jesus, in October. The Catholic religious order for men dates back to the year 1540, when it was founded by St. Ignatious of Loyola. It is the largest religious order in the Catholic Church. Although the Jesuits for centuries were considered the shock troops of the Vatican and their superior dubbed the "Black Pope" because of his influence, the religious order has grown very liberal, modernist over the last 60 years. Rev. Jorge Bergoglio, the current Pope Francis, is a Jesuit.

I take it the Ten Commandments, like the Constitution, are a “living” document.
If the Church promulgates Heresy, is it heresy?
Srsly?
I’m not Catholic, but just from what I read, seems pretty clear what Jesus says. The only possible argument I see is whether adultery is an acceptable reason for remarriage of the wronged partner.

“despite Jesus Christ’s words about marriage”, Jesus didn’t talk about marriage. What a contradiction.
Only under certain distinct circumstances do miracles occur. The wine.
They’ve given themselves over to the worship of mammon.
In other words, worldly and anti-Christian. They've embraced the serpent in the garden and serve the Dark One.
Idiots...
Their purpose has not necessarily been doctrinal purity so much as maintenance of ecclesiastical power.
Matthew 19:4 He said to them, “Have you not read that He Who made them in the first place made them man and woman? 5 It says, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. The two will become one.’ 6 So they are no longer two but one. Let no man divide what God has put together.”
Seems pretty clear to me.
He really didn’t talk about bestiality, so does that mean it is okay?
The Jesuits are an evil order serving a heretic pope..

Depends on what kind of animal :)
And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

I'm with you. I don't see the nuance.
True. Is it "adultery" after the vows or "sexual immorality" before the vows?
What the hell does that mean ? Dam Jesuits always equivocating to current moral concepts.
