@Wichita Knight Do you truly view it that way - or is it a joke? Aren't you aware that an unfulfilled vow once made to God places us under Divine Judgement as soon as we break the promise?
The importance of submitting ourselves for better or for verse, to a vow you have made to God is the basis of the previous commitment within the Church to say "No" to divorce.
Other incidents where Scripture teaches us not to make an oath lightly...
See Judges 11.
"
biblehub.com/judges/11-30.htmAnd Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands,
biblehub.com/judges/11-31.htm whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering.”"
After winning the battle, Jephthah is startled to see that his daughter is the first person he sees upon returning home.
Also, an oath made by Samson to be a Nazarite, would have consisted of making an oath to God that he would never cut his hair...
Judges 13
[3] And an angel of the Lord appeared to her, (Samson's Mother Saraa) and said: Thou art barren and without children: but thou shalt conceive and bear a son.
[4] Now therefore beware and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.
[5] Because thou shalt conceive and bear a son,
and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.
www.drbo.org/chapter/07013.htmThat is the TRUE reason why God cursed him and took away his strength, He deserted him since he allowed his mistress to shave his head..... he condemned himself by breaking his Consecrated Oath. As soon as his hair grew long again, Our Lord gave him his strength back , and he was able to move the pillars and destroy the Temple of the Philistines.
Vows are perpetual oaths to God.... they are to be held sacrosanct. That is why Our Lord recommends that we do not make them unless 100% sure we mean to uphold them and never break them.
James 5:12But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by Heaven or by Rarth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
If God abandoned Samson for allowing his hair to be cut - what will be the extent of His punishment against the Church that forsakes Her Sacred Traditions, and the Novus Ordo Priests who commit Sacrilege and break their vows of Chastity?
God help them all!
