The Military Ordinariate in Italy, which is immediately subject to the Holy See, "allows" Communion for remarried divorcees in direct contradiction to the New Testament and Catholic doctrine. This break with the Faith of the Church is sanctioned in a guideline, published by the Ordinariate. It contains an introduction by pro-gay and pro-divorce Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio, the president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts.
Henry VIII would have loved Pope Francis.
Pay enough money to the diocese........you get a nice annulment whether you have 5 kids together or not.
It was reversed by Benedict XVI - praise the Lord for him!
The radical left in the church forced out Benedict.
I have friends who wanted to marry who were both divorced Catholics. Neither had children from their first marriages. They went to get annulments. The price was not doable for young, working class, non-Kennedys. So they married in the nearest Christian church and sent their kids to Catholic school. They attend Catholic mass and feel they have their own pact with God about whether they should receive the sacraments or not.
Don’t say I agree with them, but everyone has to make their own moral decisions in life.
What is a "Military Ordinariate"?
Thanks.
Silly Catholics who go for regular divorce when they can get a church approved divorce without any of the communion complications.
All for a fee, of course....
Our own military marries men to men and women to women, will start allowing co ed showers and says men can be women and women can be men. We have no room to point fingers.
Nobody is point fingers at countries.
A military ordinariate is an ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church, of the Latin or an Eastern Church, responsible for the pastoral care of Catholics serving in the armed forces of a nation.
Thank you, I gathered as much having been a career US Army officer.
