Its scandalous for the pope to promote such an irregular arrangement, knowing that many, many people will walk away with the impression that that sort of thing is "no big deal" these days.
Your position is absurd on several counts.
Start with the notion that any woman is obligated, somehow, to marry the father of their child.
This is FALSE and even the most devout supporters of the Tribunal process realize that “shot gun marriages” have always been grounds for annulment after the fact.
I don’t think it is scandalous...maybe he is trying to bring people back to the church and a more moral way of life.
Of course it is not “no big deal” but it seems to be very prevalent. So if he can bring back someone, why not? You can’t change the past...but you can change the future.
Myself...if my marriage were presided over by a Pope I would mind my P’s and Q’s. And I’m not Catholic. :)
spoken like Judas Iscariot.
it appears she had a child with one guy and then went and married a different guy.>>>>>
I live in a small town and hear about that happening all the time, only most of the time they just shack up with various ones and live off the taxpayers until their prince charming fool comes along then they marry go to church and hob nob with the best.
I'll admit I don't quite get it. If she had a child and the child's natural father wasn't married to her, isn't married to her, was married to her but isn't any more, and/or won't marry her, is she supposed to stay unmarried for the rest of her life?
Maybe you'll object that this isn't your point. But --- honest question -- what IS your point? Was she wrong to get married?
