As we have painfully noted, people understand Scripture differently. This was also true for Jews of Christ's time. Some viewed divorce differently. There are many such examples in the Gospels. WE also come to Scripture differently. This "Lense" that we use to view the Bible is different - it is determined by our own Traditions.

So does that mean that Jesus was speaking through a Catholic lens? I would think that Jesus would be the one to create the lens, not follow the lens created by man. As you mentioned, one example is His teaching on divorce. Man's lens on the subject was corrupt and He corrected it.

No, the lense called "Catholic" was created by the Messiah and given to Apostles. The Apostles then are "giving" this lense through the use of oral and written teachings.

As to divorce, our vision is still the same given by Christ.
