That accounts for a small minority of all divorces.

Really? Can you support that assertion?

So should the rest be condemned as sinners?

Leave condemnations to God Himself but let the Churches celebrate according to the Gospel.

I just saw your response to Non Sequitur. I don’t think either of us are speaking against or judging anyone, it’s just very strange that divorce/remarriage is the one topic that seems to be omitted from most church positions. That’s all.

It's hard to say in the U.S. because of no-fault divorce, reasons don't have to be given any more. Grant Thornton did a U.K. study saying that in 2004 infidelity accounted for 27% of all divorces. I'm willing to accept that as accurate, unless you have another figure, and will point out that it still means that according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, at best in 3 out of every 4 cases of divorce and remarriage, the relationship is adulterous. Unless you feel that Mark 10 is the accurate interpetation. Then all of them are adulterous. So what should the church di in those cases?

Leave condemnations to God Himself but let the Churches celebrate according to the Gospel.

Unless, of course, we're talking about a homosexual. Then condemn away. Is that it?
