That would be rather interesting. One of the guys I work with is an ex-catholic. He left catholicism to become a strict Bible based Christian. He later married a Protestant. His parents evidently don't treat him any too good now, and they treat his wife like less than a human being. I'm just wondering how many divorces happen that are considered other than divorce because catholics don't view the marriage as valid. Just a curiosity. I think my coworker would tell someone to stuff it before he'd ever consider the notion of parting with his wife.
Numbers please.
I did a search for this on Yahoo and found this site. There's some pretty good info on this particular page about this subject, but I chose to post only a chart that they got from Barna. If you want to read the rest of the article, follow the link. Enjoy ...
