I’m not certain that this correctly portrays the Orthodox position. If it does, then I have to respectfully disagree with the pope on this one and say the Latin Church has the better position.
“If it does, then I have to respectfully disagree with the pope on this one and say the Latin Church has the better position.”
The Latin Church certainly seems more inline with direct quotes from Jesus. He referred to the Old Testament permission of divorce as something caused by the hardness of peoples’ hearts.
Yes, the Roman Church has the better position. I have always been amazed at the FR Orthodox posters who talk about second and third marriages being penances. Marriage as a penance? What?
