“I’m Catholic and you are wrong.”

I’m aware that Newt is a convert, so am I. The Catechism agrees with me.

1605 of the Catechism:

I. Marriage in God’s plan

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P51.HTM

Holy Scripture affirms that man and woman were created for one another: “It is not good that the man should be alone.”92 The woman, “flesh of his flesh,” i.e., his counterpart, his equal, his nearest in all things, is given to him by God as a “helpmate”; she thus represents God from whom comes our help.93 “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.”94

The Lord himself shows that this signifies an unbreakable union of their two lives by recalling what the plan of the Creator had been “in the beginning”: “So they are no longer two, but one flesh.”95

Tell us what the Catechism and Christ say about Forgiveness.

Last post from me to you on this subject. The Catholic church grants annulments. For many reasons....look it up.
