It's okay to get a divorce, it's the remarrying part that incurs sin right?

There has to be a legitimate justification for it.

I would think there could be tremendous sin that results from divorce itself.

It sure seems sinful to break apart a family/abandon a spouse. It seems sinful to legally keep a parent away from their own children, which almost always happens with custody agreements. It seems sinful to to force a bread winning spouse to pay for two households, which also usually happens. It seems sinful towards the children that even if one parent remains true and doesn't remarry, the other legally could.

I guess I don't know the exact answer, but I doubt there are many divorces that don't involve serious sin.

Read the Bible. Jesus said that divorce and remarriage is adultery. (or it is a thread about annulments?)

Doesn't it actually say something to the effect about the remarrying part and also if you were to marry a divorced woman.

For better or for worse. If the worse be like beatings or such that you would have to leave is one thing. BUT still it is protection only. That is separation and that is not divorce. Civil break up is divorce and some times that may have to be for maybe one gambles and puts a very heavy strain on the family and the other spouse is trying to maintain a good record. Annulment is a proof of fraud of one or both spouses. Such as one saying: "I refuse to have children" , or maybe, "by the way, I am a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and didn't tell you", or " I was married before and didn't tell you." The marriage is not valid. So, in any case, if there is a break, your eyes stay at home! You can not look for someone else or even companionship. Only if the marriage is proven to be invalid. Not by the New Order, because they dish out annulments when they are not. for a price $. Your job is to always pray for each other and the marriage. We pray for it's return, rebirth. That is our job to pray for the returned souls. That is why God is against divorce. We can not play Henry the VIII.

Take an example where the wife was just a burden (intellectually un-stimulating) and the husband just wanted to be rid of her. A divorce would be acceptable providing he didn't remarry. That's how I see it.

Divorce is a sin.
How can some traditional Catholics not know this?

Änσnymσus · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:22:14 PM »

Divorce is most certainly NOT "ok" or "acceptable".
Divorce is a sin.

Änσnymσus · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2012, 04:27:57 PM »

Are you guys sure about that? Isn't it the remarrying part that is a mortal sin?

Änσnymσus · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2012, 06:58:42 PM »

If you separate, fine, be on your way, BUT, no divorce and no remarrying for you. Eyes at home! And keep your prayers going. Just get rid or her?! NO, it is for better or for worse. What happens if a husband is in an accident and he is paralyzed, does the wife say, you I get rid of?! And your children, the same case, can you divorce them because they can't do anything for you, do you get rid of them. NO!

You may divorce to obtain certain civil effects, but always remember you are married in the eyes of God till death, divorced or not.

Did you really just say that? I know a man, a Dr., who met his wife in college. They dated while he finished his PhD. They married and had 4 children together. After 34 years, he left her because she was not intellectually stimulating. Those were his exact words. He is a disgusting pig. He is going out with every woman he can meet online that is his intellectual equal and he still can find his "soul-mate."

That man treated his wife like a nobody. He ignored her, routinely, especially when she was overwhelmed with things she didn't instinctively no how to handle, like a simple flat tire. Yep, just told her to figure it out herself or call for a tow.

He put her away, sent her packing, purely because he was annoyed with her. That is disgusting. It is pure evil.

What's worse is that they were married for 5 years before they had children. You mean he didn't know after 5 years that she was his "intellectual equal"?

And this man calls himself a Catholic. Pathetic.

A divorce is a civil procedure which has no standing at all in the eyes of Holy Mother Church. If the man, strictly speaking gets a divorce (for other serious reasons such as abuse rather than 'intellectually unstimulating'!) and did not remarry, it does not mean there are no other effects such as those on the children. And most of the time, there will be fornication and adultery involved even if there is no 'remarriage'.

Maybe Jesus Christ should decide you aren't intellectually stimulating enough for Him and refuse you membership in His bride, the Church.

It's appalling that a man could be so incredibly shallow as that.
