effin’ A ............paragraphs would nice
Paragraphs are necessary.
I’m in agreement, paragraphs make it easier to read and comprehend, it’s as bad as using all caps.
1. They are the ten COMMANDMENTS, not the ten suggestions.
2. The Church forbids divorce-remarriage. That was the crux of Henry VIII's rage against the Church.
Henry's wives: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
3. The Church also forbids fornication, homo/bisexuality behavior, same-gender "marriage," multiple-wife marriage...so many things which are NOW legal. They STILL are immoral if one cares to follow the Bible, the Apostolic Tradition (http://www.catholic.com/tracts/apostolic-tradition) and the current teachings of the Church, that is, for example, the immorality of abortion, etc.
==========================================
Mark: 10:1-12
Divorce
01 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.
2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.
4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied.
6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.
11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
==========================================
I guess divorced-remarried people follow King Henry VIII instead of Jesus. It IS the easier path.
How much clearer could Jesus have been?
Paragraphs are your friends. Also a live source of this?
Sorry, Catholics, but your present Pope has proven by his bizarre remarks that he is a nut case.
He is not helping your cause.
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
