Churches simply allowed a secular culture to determine that divorce is no big deal, and that it is a purely private matter.

Indeed - one of the things I’ve never been able to understand. Especially the divorced people who were having affairs with other congregation members, then get married IN THE CHURCH and expect everyone to rejoice with them. And too many do.

It’s all about the offering plate, especially in the mega-churches.

Not with the Catholic Church. Once married — let nothing take them apart except death.

I know that divorces happen. As long as a divorced person does not remarry — they can still receive the Sacraments.
