Well marshmellow, Jesus really doesn’t speak to the absolute indissolubility of marriage.
King James Bible as well as virtually all other translations include a condition;
“But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.”
It’s interesting that prior to no fault divorce, most state laws, grounds for divorce were pretty much limited to adultery...
Also in the King James Bible:
Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
I doubt that you will find many married men or women who have never done that. Does that fit into the exception above?
” those who are open to allowing access to communion “do not in any way deny the indissolubility of marriage.”
Just as those who are open to allowing abortion in certain circumstances do not in any way deny the sanctity of human life.
The logic is painful.
Keep the families together if at all possible.
There are numerous opportunities for them:
counseling
Marriage Encounter
Retrouvaille
Forgive me if I feel like this is a “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” controversy.
At least so long as they allow people like Nancy Pelosi to go right on receiving Communion.
This post is misleading. Cardinal Burke is a participate in the Synod and said hardly any bishops present agree with Kaspar. And he said every bishop has been given a copy of the book on marriage that he and a few other bishops wrote.
