Marriage Woes

Many entertainment personalities are into their second marriages and often, it would be officiated by a protestant pastor. It always make me wonder whether the pastor had any qualms about it at all. The first marriages were usually officiated in a Catholic Church, have they rationalized it as invalid? Any Bible-faithful pastor would surely be uneasy to go against "what God had put together, no man can put asunder". Martin Luther had succumbed to such, too, when a powerful Duke was involved. He rationalized it with the Old Testament, Moses had allowed it.



Debates in the Catholic Church had been centered on giving Holy Communion to couples in a second marriage. Two Sacraments of the Church are put into a quandary for pastoral (?) reason. Cardinal Kasper had been in the forefront addressing the Bishops for the Synod on family. The talks had intensified with the news of Pope Francis calling an Argentine woman married to a divorcee.

Sexual sins are private; Thus, there is always an element of presumption. Abortion and artificial contraception are widely accepted and propagated because they hide sexual sins. Why is God so strict about it?

Again, we go back to the Truth that God is our Creator and it is in the sexual act where God manifests Himself as the Creator of human life. It is also in the marital relationship that also reflects our eternal union with God.

What is happening, then, with this "pastoral" compromises is an UNDERMINING of MAN's BEGINNING and END.
