The fact that a Cardinal would even have to say that, speaks volumes.

"But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. "Mark 10:6-9

"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:4-6

I have thought, for several years now, that the various churches, political parties and governments have sought to "put asunder" marriage. They are not content with individual marriage break ups there goal has been to destroy marriage as the bedrock of family life and a stable society.

Key quote:

The German cardinal concludes his statement with the important sentence: “The post-synodal document, Amoris Laetitia, is therefore to be interpreted in light of the above-presented principles, especially since a contradiction between a papal document and the Catechism of the Catholic Church would not be imaginable.”

In other words, more so-called "hermeneutic of continuity" hogwash. This Cardinal isn't saying anything more than any other post-Vatican II Cardinal might say. Don't get your hopes up folks that someone in the Vatican is actually going to call it like it is.

It is the Church’s magisterial teaching (Dogma) that a validly contracted and consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any power of the world – also not by the Church herself.”

I ask this sincerely because I don’t know, what dogma and if applicable, from which ecumenical council?
