Catholic Church Finally Endorse Divorce by cbrass(m): 5:15am On Sep 09, 2015 |
Pope Francis announced new procedures on Tuesday to make it easier for Roman Catholics to obtain marriage annulments, a change intended to streamline a process long criticised by many Catholics as too cumbersome, complicated and expensive, The New York Times reports. Under the new rules, the process will be much faster for cases in which a couple is not contesting the annulment. Such cases had required two separate judgments from a diocesan tribunal. Now, the process, overseen by local bishops, will require only one judgment. Moreover, the new rules require that the hearing process be held within 30 days of application, eliminating a longer waiting period. Francis is also instructing Catholic bishops to be more welcoming to divorced or separated Catholics “who have abandoned the church.” Local dioceses will be asked to establish commissions to reach out to couples seeking annulments. Francis outlined the new rules in two papal letters, known in Latin as Motu Proprio, or personal administrative decrees. In speeding up the annulment process, Francis is trying to make the church more merciful and responsive to the needs of Catholics, yet he does not want to appear to be encouraging divorce. Francis wrote that his new rules “do not favor the nullity of marriages, but the expedition of trials, as well as a just simplification.” The Catholic Church is a misogynist tribe that officially defines women as inferior. This new supposedly forward-thinking chieftain has no… Divorce is a topic that has long splintered many of the Catholic faithful from the church. Under church law, marriage is indissoluble, and divorce is not recognized. Yet many Catholics are divorced, especially in the Western world, and the divide between reality on the ground and church dogma has alienated many. Many Catholics had been watching closely to see how Francis would address the issue of annulments as part of a broader debate about whether the church should allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive the sacraments such as communion. The church has long offered an annulment process in which a marriage can be declared invalid if the husband or wife can prove the union failed to meet certain requirements. In August 2014, Francis appointed a commission to study the best way to overhaul the annulment process. The new rules allow local bishops to establish tribunals to hear annulment cases. The tribunals should consist of three members, ideally clerics, although the rules allow a bishop to appoint up to two lay members of the diocese to a tribunal. http://www.punchng.com/news/pope-francis-makes-divorce-easier-for-catholics/ |

Don't be deceived. It's not going to be as easy as the reports tend to portray. Catholic Church is still a conservative organisation and besides, I don't see any priest who would easily dissolve a marriage. |

If Jesus didn't support divorce, why should
Pope support it? Is he greater than Jesus? |

Divorce is not the way foward. I understand that in marriages, sh*ts is bound to pop off, but they should be managed by the couple. |

There are biblical standards, yes. But we can't close our eyes to the fact that times have changed. Anything that doesn't get modified with the changing times will become outdated. However, I opine that whoever seeks divorce should do it in the open, in front of the witnesses who agreed to the union. On the altar and with the priest who joined them. |

If you are not living according to God's purpose of marriage then you needs to divotce. Simple. People won't divorce because they are afraid of what others are saying about them but guess what they are talking about you WHILE you are married. What is the difference? |
