Good people should not be denied communion. It's common sense.

Vows....Priests take vows and leave and marry etc etc.

The church made a problem where there was no problem. They gave everyone a way out....pay....and you can get an annulment.

A Pope should be keenly aware that there are always forces of chaos at work in the Church and in the world. This Pope doesn’t seem to be aware of that.

I think history will pronounce him somewhere between a “caretaker Pope” and a disaster.

**Pope Backs Us on Communion for the Remarried, Says German Official**

I doubt that.

From what I have read, one of the grounds for an annulment is that if one or both parties enters in to the marriage with no intent on living up to the vows they took.

Now keep in mind that I have been married to the same woman for 45 years, and that’s not going to change in the foreseeable future.

However, she vowed to love, honer and OBEY me, I vowed to love honer and cherish her. I have to say, she had no intention what so ever of obeying me. Neither did any other women who made that vow... IMHO

Divorce is a sin. However, ‘spiritually’ speaking The Heavenly Father gave the house of Israel a bill of divorcement.

Jeremiah 3:8 and I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

Wonder what would this church require of the Heavenly Father to be acceptable?

Strange few modern churches ever self-examin their doctrines to see if they have followed in Israel and Judah's footsteps.

My question has always been no fault divorce..... I get married, have a kid and the spouse up and leaves and gets a divorce....

so now a 30 year old is to spend the next 50 years alone, or remarry and not be in communion with the church, all due to no fault of their own...

does not make sense..
