I’d have more confidence in that if he hadn’t treated his own first wife of many years so shamefully
We’ve all made our mistakes. I don’t think God will keep him from heaven when he still praised the Lord in song. After all, look at King David inthe Old Testament.I’d have more confidence in that if he hadn’t treated his own first wife of many years so shamefully
But that’s really between him and God I guess. Certainly an absolutely glorious voice, always sent chills up my back.
King David repented his sin though. And no amount of singing will help Signor Pavarotti unless he did likewise.
Maybe he did. We don’t know.
yeah I agree here…
We are to condemn sin for what it is. If he didn’t repent of that, then he most likely went to hell.
Let’s not commit sin ourselves by speculating on the eternal destination of anyone’s soul. Yes?
We cannot know what difficulties he and his first wife had. That was between them and God and the Church.Divorce is never justified. Sin is sin.Let’s not commit sin ourselves by speculating on the eternal destination of anyone’s soul. Yes?
That was, as I stated, between them and God and the Church. We cannot know the state of a man’s soul and what peace he has made with God through the Church, therefore we have no right to judge.
He just needs prayer. Obviously he had fallen away from the faith.
Yes, that is not the right way to do things and would be sinful for anyone. Still, and I’m sure you agree, we cannot know if he made a good confession before he died or not. Let us hope so.He just needs prayer. Obviously he had fallen away from the faith.
But in the end, only he and God can know if he repented of his sins.

Trivia
Since 2003 Pavarotti has been married to his assistant, Nicoletta Mantovani, who bore him twins in January 2003. Unfortunately due to complications at the time of birth only one child survived, daughter Alice. He also has three grown-up children with his first wife, Adua.
Married his longtime partner Nicoletta in a song-filled ceremony held in the main theater of the tenor’s hometown, northern Italy.
Daughter with Mantovani, Alice, was born in January 2003
Amen, and amen.
Gods Mercy is always there for all to accept or reject. Thank goodness, or none of us would make it.Let’s get some things clear.
There are two canonical reasons for separation with the bond of marriage continues. The first is adultery -- the innocent party has the right to separate. (Although contrition, forgiveness and reconciliation are encouraged, it is not strictly required and in some cases it is not possible or appropriate.) The second is danger -- the spouse in danger can remove him or herself from danger and also take children out of danger. (This danger can be physical, psychological, due to drugs or alcohol abuse, etc.)Really, you don’t need to go through this exhaustive explanation when what I wrote said the same thing without all the rhetoric. Why you want to insist we disagree when we don’t is beyond me.
