Our Lord Jesus also mention divorce in the Gospels.AAABEST you should mention that you are with a break away church not in Communion with Rome.
Matt. 5:31-32 - the Lord permits divorce only for “porneia.” This Greek word generally means unlawful sexual intercourse due to either blood relations (also called incest) or nonsacramental unions. The Lord does not permit divorce for “moicheia” (adultery). It is also important to note that in these cases, a marriage never existed in the first place, so the Lord is not actually permitting divorce, but a dissolution of the unlawful union.

Here we go again.
Fatima, you likely couldn't name a single Church where I've attended Mass at any time in my entire life, much less what my current worship habits are. I haven't corresponded with you in at least 7 years and I haven't posted anything in the FR religion forum in that same period of time - for obvious reasons as per this thread. But don't let that stop you from spreading falsehoods.
It wouldn't matter if I was a practicing Moonie or Krishna, canon and doctrine are what they are. There is no such thing as a "divorce" from the sacrament of marriage. PERIOD. I don't know what debate you're trying to have, because there isn't one.
For the purposes of this conversation nobody, including me, is discussing whether or not Christ "mentions" a civil divorce document, so I'm not sure what your point is. The passage from Matthew you're referring reinforces the argument many of us are making.
Let me re-post what I wrote, so those like yourself can re-read it SLOWWWWWWWWWLY and with some degree of comprehension. I even bolded the important parts, just for you. Take all the time you need.
No, there is no such thing as divorce if the marriage was sacramental. Civil and "natural" marriages are viewed differently.
Protestants will (or should) understand this as well as Catholics, as Christ is extremely direct and clear on the matter in scripture. Divorcing from the sacrament simply is impossible; a man-created concept that doesn't exist and cannot ever happen under any circumstances whatsoever.
