Jesuit Leader: No One Recorded Jesus' Words on Marriage, It's 'Nuanced,' Never 'Black and White'

This piece states the Jesuits have become more liberal, modernist in the last 60 years. I should say so. What Catholic leader since the founding of the Church would question the sanctity and nature of Holy Matrimony?

[AZLiberty]

I take it the Ten Commandments, like the Constitution, are a “living” document.

If the Church promulgates Heresy, is it heresy?

[arthurus]

Due to a sneaky translation from the Hebrew Moses's Ten Suggestions were redesignated Commandments. The prologue at the beginning actually was: It Would Be Nice If-
The Jesuits are merely correcting the record.

Srsly?

I’m not Catholic, but just from what I read, seems pretty clear what Jesus says. The only possible argument I see is whether adultery is an acceptable reason for remarriage of the wronged partner.

“despite Jesus Christ’s words about marriage”, Jesus didn’t talk about marriage. What a contradiction.

[Scram1]

Only under certain distinct circumstances do miracles occur. The wine.

[Grimmy]

They’ve given themselves over to the worship of mammon.

"the religious order has grown very liberal, modernist over the last 60 years"

In other words, worldly and anti-Christian. They've embraced the serpent in the garden and serve the Dark One.

Idiots...

The Jesuits have always been the "intelligentsia" of the Catholic Church.

Their purpose has not necessarily been doctrinal purity so much as maintenance of ecclesiastical power.

Matthew 19:4 He said to them, “Have you not read that He Who made them in the first place made them man and woman? 5 It says, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will live with his wife. The two will become one.’ 6 So they are no longer two but one. Let no man divide what God has put together.”

Seems pretty clear to me.

He really didn’t talk about bestiality, so does that mean it is okay?

[ZULU]

The Jesuits are an evil order serving a heretic pope..

The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’

and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

I'm with you. I don't see the nuance.

True. Is it "adultery" after the vows or "sexual immorality" before the vows?

[mosesdapoet]

What the hell does that mean ? Dam Jesuits always equivocating to current moral concepts.
