Scripture makes only one provision for divorce and that is adultery.

And even then, in most Evangelical churches, restoration and forgiveness is strongly encouraged. Nor do I know of any pastor who would marry a couple who claiims to be Christian and is either living together or got a divorce after a profession of faith.

An interesting thing I discovered. I have a relative who lives in Montreal and he told me that it’s an extremely strongly Catholic city and the cohabitation rate of couples is about the highest in the world. Since the church so strongly condemns divorce, couples don’t dare risk divorce and so cross the church, so instead they figure they’re in better shape by just living together.

The fruit of Catholicism.

And knowing the neighborhood so well, I ned to add this disclaimer that this relative was raised Catholic and at present has no church affliation and most certainly makes no claim to any Protestant affiliation.

Exactly. The CC/Catholicism is a worldly organization with man made teachings so their congregants will live like the world and do as the worldly man does and see nothing wrong with it.
