At “the time of Jesus” men owned women just as they did cattle. The Catholic Church was the start of Marriage.
Joseph and Mary say what??
Peter owned his wife and treated her as cattle??
For that matter...the OT says what??
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Gen 2:24 NASB
And further reinforced in the NT.
2Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife. 3And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4They said, “Moses permitted a man TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY.” 5But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6“But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. 7“FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, 8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9“What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.” Mark 10:2-9 NASB
Do catholics even read the Book they claim to have given everyone??
