So does that mean that Jesus was speaking through a Catholic lens? I would think that Jesus would be the one to create the lens, not follow the lens created by man. As you mentioned, one example is His teaching on divorce. Man's lens on the subject was corrupt and He corrected it.

No, the lense called "Catholic" was created by the Messiah and given to Apostles. The Apostles then are "giving" this lense through the use of oral and written teachings.

As to divorce, our vision is still the same given by Christ.

If only that was true. There is no way I will ever be convinced that Christ would approve of the farce called annulment. In my opinion, your leaders invented out of whole cloth the cheapest "out" I have ever heard of. I really think it wholly diminishes the sanctity of marriage. I'm sick enough about how many Protestant divorces there are, but at least we are honest about it.
