I never said Jewish. I said only Church and was refering to the Christian Church (Catholic especially), but to be honest, I did not know he was Jewish until I read a few posts later AFTER I had already posted this one.
I know - Prager is Jewish, though, and speaks usually using the Judeo-Christian tradition as a basis.
I think the old Jewish law, in the broadest sense, makes a lot of sense when it comes to divorce. And by that I only mean recognizing the wisdom in no-fault divorce as the best, thought not perfect, practical approach to handling marriages that go sour.
Prager considers divorce a tragedy, but not a catastrophe. I'm inclinded to agree with that. It's an unfortunate fact of life that some people will be saddled with people who either are or develop into poor spouses.
Only a genuinely sick individual sees some sort of social value in forcing two people who can't stand each other to remain together. It makes no sense. Indeed, I have no idea why this idea is considered 'conservative' in any way, since there is nothing conservative about it.
And by the way, I wasn't being flippant. Please do read the jewish rules and law when it comes to divorce. I think it's basic framework presents a sensible approach to a problem that will always be with us.
You waded in not even knowing who Prager is? Chutzpah!
