About 95% of American bishops give Communion to pro-aborts—which is EXACTLY the same sin as giving Communion to the divorced-and-illicitly-remarried. It is IDIOTIC and inconsistent to support one and oppose the other.

Why do you guys oppose Jesus???

Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

First of all, NO serious scholar or theologian would ever base a theological conclusion on a TRANSLATION of Scripture, or on a single verse, even in the original language.

Second: That verse is commonly translated differently, and is interpreted to mean that, if the “wife” is in fact a partner in an illicit relationship in the first place, it is not wrong to “put her away.” I.e., “except in case of adultery” does NOT mean a marriage may be dissolved if adultery occurs, but that Jesus is talking about the indissolubility of genuine marriages, and is not talking about adulterous “marriages.”

The teaching of Jesus Christ is that all valid marriages are indissoluble.
