The Church allows divorce, TEPO.
sacramental marriages cannot be dissolved through divorce.
Amen!
Which is correct:
Amen.
Divorce isn’t allowed
sigh
Lurkers, please understand that even after civil divorce, a married couple will always be considered ‘one flesh’ in the eyes of God and the Church. The relationship does not end in this lifetime.
This lurker’s Enquiring Mind wants to know …
If you married, became one flesh, divorced, then went to confession, you may receive Communion, as long as you have no other mortal sins on your soul.
It’s a way out if the tribunal finds that one party was not truly believing of their vows. Most annulments are granted. I think I understand pretty well what annulment means and we are just going back and forth over semantics.
i also voted yes for the same exact reason -the Church possesses the keys, and they have been given the authority to bind and loosen. People here have been throwing the term ‘sin’ around as if the Church cannot loosen the Canons. Apparently they know more than the Cardinals do.
Yep.
So the confession would be for the divorce itself?
Yes.
Also yes.
I would think so.
I never though about it much because I’m happy to have the experience of one long and fruitful marriage. My confessions would be primarily for the things I did before finally “doing the right thing.”
I’m taking psych classes. In one of them we are getting indoctrinated into the feminist mindset that all people should be androgynous. Femininity is traitorous in women and a sign of maturity for men. Masculin-ish behavior is Wrong on So Many Levels. I even identified myself as “an example of an androgynous individual” I had to describe “in detail” on last week’s quiz. (With this teacher, that can only be a good thing – and all she is to me is a “BS-to-class points” converter anyway.I never though about it much because I’m happy to have the experience of one long and fruitful marriage.

This makes me sensitive enough to notice that by allowing myself to use the “rolling eyes” smiley instead of an “ashamed” one, I have demonstrated my own failure to control my desire to dominate and manipulate women and savagely attack them verbally and emotionally at any chance. Not only that, I’m contributing to the culture of hatred and objectification of women that advances violent physical crime against them as well.
So I apologize to all who were seriously harmed by my use of the rolling eyes smiley, including all those women who are not yet enlightened enough to recognize the threat for what it is. Here is what I should have written in the first place, if I had ever learned anything about being a decent human being:

Gosh if Church teachings can drive one mad, consider trying to reconcile Church teachings with getting a college degree these days.
Did you see my edit? I decided to “turn the other cheek” and self-identify as “androgynous” the other day on an essay quiz question.
Didn’t see it. Now I did.Did you see my edit? I decided to “turn the other cheek” and self-identify as “androgynous” the other day on an essay quiz question.
So I guess I’m male only from a biological perspective now, and that can be fixed.
I hope this is a facetious post. My head explodes when women think the way to make themselves stronger is by getting men to treat them better. If my strength as a woman depends on you, a man, controlling your desire to dominate and control me, I am still At your mercy. Women must be taught to empower themselves through strength of mind and courage. Women may be physically weaker than men, but that does not make them weak.I’
