How does Matthew 19:6 (… “What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” – EWTN Bible) apply to judges who grant divorces?
 
Saint Pope John Paul II’s address to the Roman Rota:
For judges this may prove difficult, since the legal order does not recognize a conscientious objection to exempt them from giving sentence.
For grave and proportionate motives they may therefore act in accord with the traditional principles of material cooperation. But they too must seek effective means to encourage marital unions, especially through a wisely handled work of reconciliation.
