Traditional Roman Catholicism
|

The Bible teaches that lawful marriage cannot be dissolved by any human
power.
Matt. 19, 6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore
God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
COMMENT: This doctrine is maintained at a great price by the Catholic
Church. Of old it cost her nearly the whole of England. Today she loses
thousands every year because of her uncompromising stand upon this
subject. But did she do otherwise, she would cease to be the true Church of
Christ.
The Bible teaches that remarriage (during the lifetime of the former consort)
is adultery.
I Cor. 7, 10-11: And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, let
not the wife depart from her husband; but and if she depart let her remain
unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put
away his wife.
Mark 10, 11-12: And he saith unto them, whosoever shall put away his wife,
and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put
away her husband, and be married to another she committeth adultery.
Luke 16-18: Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another,
committeth adultery and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her
husband committeth adultery.
COMMENT: If one party commits adultery the other party may, under certain
circumstances, live separate from guilty party; but may not remarry during the
former consort's lifetime. This is the real meaning of Matt. 19, 9.
So if your not Catholic, and your sect allows divorce, you must see that it is
not Biblical and therefore you need to ask why your sect teaches something
that is against Christ and His teachings. If you are Catholic, you know what
the Church and Christ teach. The Holy sacrament of marriage is not
something to be taken lightly, it is for life!
