Divorce
• It is the legal dissolution of marriage by a court.
• It is a grave offense against the natural law.
• It makes injury to the covenant of salvation.
• It is immoral.
Divorce with freedom to marry can be granted in the following cases:

1. Pauline Privilege (1 Cor. 7:12-16) enables a ligitimate marriage between non-

baptized persons, even though it has been consummated, can be dissolved in favor
of the faith.
2. If a sacramental marriage has not been sexually consummated, a dispensation that
brings with it the cancellation of the bond can be obtained.
3. If a non-baprized man, living with several wives simutaneously (polygamy), receives
baptism, he is entitled to choose anyone of his women to be his only wife; the same
rule applies to a woman in similar situation with several husbands (polyandry); no
dispensation is required.
4. If man and wife, neither of them baptized, become forcibly separated and for no
fault of theirs they cannot restore their common life, the reception of baptism even by
one etities both to marry again; no dispensation is needed.

5. If both of such forcibly a sacramental separated persons receive baptism,

theoretically a sacramental non-consummated marriage comes into existence; still they
are not able to restore their common life, the law grants them the freedom to marry;
this amounts to a dispensation by the law from the bond of a non-consummated
sacramental marriage.

6. If a natural (non-sacramental) bond exists between two non-baptized, or one

baptized and another who is not, dispensation from the bond can be requested through
the competent ordinary from the apostolic See.
Arguments for Church's Present
Attitude

• Divorce is opposed to the good of

the spouses.

• A dissoluble marriage is prejudicial

to the child.

• The good of society requires stable

families.

• Theological nature.
Objections rose against the basis of present practice:

• God's forgiveness.
• Total reparation is not always possible.
• Many of those concerned are not conscious of guilt.

• Situation may not be bad in itself even though law of unicity

and indissolubility is transgressed.
• Erroneous attitude on elicit sexual relations.
• Conscientious conviction on part of those divorced and
remarried must be regarded.
• Other people see divorce as a lesser evil.

SUBTITLE

family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His
children." (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)
