Today's Gospel Jesus showed us how to consider the marriage as strictly monogamous and indissoluble. While we now live in a society that resorts to the civil divorce easily, The Church reminds us through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, that the marriage is something that man must not separate from God because they were formed. It 's interesting to meditate on these things and now we do it with a reflection of Vincenzo La Gamba, a known deacon also greeted by the Venerable John Paul II in a poem dedicated to him. Vincenzo La Gamba also focuses on the distinction between religious and civil divorce and divorce in particular focuses on what the union is based marital
is for the "hardness of heart" if a marriage fails . It occurs when one of the two partners will harden his heart, took over the 'selfishness. In words poor: it is not capable of loving.
When the divorce law passed in Italy (Law Fortuna) is different from the current scandal at the Church.
In truth (and there is also today in the Sunday Gospel of Mark 10, 2-16) in Jesus' day, divorce was granted on the basis of a text of Deuteronomy 24.1: "When a man took a woman and lived with her husband, if that happens then it does not find favor in his eyes, because he has found something shameful, write her a bill of divorce and deliver it to him in hand and send her away from home " .
Not to degrade the word of God, but also to better understand the law of Deuteronomy, which actually a permit, it must be emphasized that the divorce law of that time was a purely restrictive law. At first, the married man in Israel enjoyed an almost absolute right to divorce his wife at will. Deuteronomy 24: 1, just beyond this barbaric arbitrariness: it is the first bank to bring the marriage in 'bed willed by God at the beginning of creation (Gen 1:24; 2.4). As the law of retaliation will be exceeded by the commandment of love, so the law of divorce, because of selfishness, will be overtaken by the commandment of the indissolubility of marriage. In the Old Testament is praised
marital fidelity and divorce is considered an abomination, though, in some cases, were tolerated "the hardness of heart."
However, the positive teaching of the absolute insolubility of marriage we find in the New Testament.
When Jesus in the Gospel of today responds to the Pharisees: "For the hardness of your hearts Moses wrote you this commandment. But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female, for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. "Man, therefore, does not separate what God has joined together."
This reinforces the fact that Jesus poses no ambiguity: reject polygamy, but at the same time emphasizes the conjugal union indissoluble.
today (I should point) a religious marriage can be annulled by the Church, without a definite ideal, because it is a concession to human weakness. " It is a different legal marriage where the couple can legally separate or divorce, but that is not recognized by the Church.
Basically who is divorced and want to remarry in the Church, must have held the declaration of nullity of marriage by the Roman Church. Otherwise you can marry (at will) only with the civil ceremony
why be divorced by the civil ceremony is totally different from being divorced from the cancellation of marriage religious.
Beyond form, even at our marriage is often a possession, a sale of mutual relations, a mutual prostitution. The marriage instead of love and service, it becomes selfishness and oppression.
It is hard together until the interest of the stronger. When does interest, the use of one or the other, including the instrumentation, everything stops.
You know why? Why love is over. It is no longer the "feeling", that is all in a marital union, and determining the double failure at all levels.
only with Christ, creation reaches its end: back to being as God intended from beginning.
Even marriage has its meaning only in Christ.
out of him there is nothing and nothing makes sense.
