I’m sure this will play well with their muslim overlords.
Timothy, my son, we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, immoral persons, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the glorious gospel of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Abortion was a step to the decline, when murder was allowed and sanctioned by the Church, Divorce is another, and adultery is another. Now homosexuality. The question is, why bother with Church at all? since you disagree with the Old and New Testament, why even use the bible at all? It doesn’t make any sense
That’s why the mainline protestant groups are basically dead in America.
I like that!
One of the spouses might argue with this. Someone is hurt by someone.
Bishops don't even get married in the first place, so how would they know?
The church is the church no more. It is over and done for.
“”teaches that sexual relationships formed after a divorce are neither gravely sinful nor a bar to the reception of Holy Communion.””
At least that’s in accordance with the definition of adultery in the Ten Commandments but the other - tell me where I’ll find that!
Another Darwin Award Winner!
Sleeping around on your first an only, sacramental spouse is adultery.
“Second marriages”, without a declaration of anullment of the first marriage are not marriages, they a license to sin.
When you read through Genesis, one of the striking issues is how absolutely seriously adultery was taken. Before the written Word was available, before the 10 Commandments were engraved, it was apparently quite well known that adultery is a grave sin.
In Genesis 20, when Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister Abimelech took her into his harem (at age 90!). The Lord prevented the commission of adultery. Abimelech was horrified that he might have committed adultery, condemning his entire nation, and told Abraham so. Contrast today, where adultery is the most meh of sins.
The whole Church is collapsing faster than the American Republic.
They may well be getting a majority of moral midgets to sign on at some point, but it is not yet a done deal.
IT may well precipitate schism *among* them, as well as schism between them and Rome.
I can't even think my own goose of a Bishop could think himself to be "in communion with" these arrogant apostates,who propose "normalizing" divorce/remarriage basically on the same morally degraded terms as the Protestant churches in Germany (and here.)
I would venture to say those moral midgets include one Jorge Bergoglio, who has not raised his voice to stop this train wreck.
Before he became Pope Benedict, Ratzinger wrote a book in which he projected that the Church would shrink drastically in the future, as unfit shepherds were removed — but that the remnant would be much more faithful.
Amen!
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
(Matthew 7:15)
On that dismal road to hell.
