@Dr Dobus Who are we to judge another? Only he who is WITHOUT SIN is allowed to throw the first stone. Are you without sin?

When the law was changed to limit a man to one wife the divorce problem was created by MAN. Until then a man could just marry a second or third wife without getting a divorce.

Matthew 22 verses 24-27
24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses said that if a man who has no children dies, his brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the dead man's children.

25Now, there were seven brothers who used to live here. The oldest got married and died without having children, so he left his widow to his brother.

26 The same thing happened to the second brother, to the third, and finally to all seven.

27 Last of all, the woman died.

As you can see no where does the example discuss a limit as to one wife. We all know that Jacob the father of the 12 tribes of Israel had several wives even Abraham's wife gave him her slave.

As you can see we created the divorce problem by limiting how many wives a man could have. If the church wants to limit a man to one wife it should also allow divorce. You can't change one of GOD'S LAWS without impacting other laws. HIS wisdom put the laws in place for a reason. We are NOT smart enough to change what GOD has done without feeling some pain and suffering. HIS way is ALWAYS PERFECT and it last till the end of time.

See Matthew 5 17 "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true.

@GodsCowboy You didn't answer my question, which referred to Courts of Law Judging.

We can and do judge acts of man, which are visible. And so we are perfectly capable, in fact, required by God to judge whether they are good or evil. For example, we can judge objectively the actions of a drug dealer or a man having sex with an animal or a corpse.

We cannot, however, judge the inner dispositions of someone. Only God can do that. That is why in Confession we accuse ourselves.

When someone has made a vow of marriage before God, we are obligated to think that it was made with valid consent. If not, we are acting as if we are God by pretending to know the inner disposition of someone. When someone then decides to marry again, what of the first vow before God?

@Dr Bobus I'm NOT a big follower of Saul/Paul but he is the BEST example for why we shouldn't judge each other. Maybe that's the reason GOD let man make such a big deal of him and his writings. It's proof that we shouldn't judge anyone till we've walked in their shoes. We're all sinners so we aren't qualified to throw stones.

Yes, we shouldn't be so harsh with poor Silvio. Is he a “womanizer” simply because he likes women? Isn't that better that than if he liked young boys such as a number of Catholic priests do?

.

About those divorces, maybe he had annulments. Besides, the pope has changed all of that and Silvio could therefore be eligible to receive communion.

.

Sure he had wild bunga bunga parties and “mentored” young damsels but this only proves he's very generous and willing to give his time and money to help the youth.

Thanks Gloria TV.. Keeping the faithful informed and protecting the flock from the wolves. It's clear enough, (unless one has their head buried in the sand) that the "true soldiers" of Christ are being persecuted from within, hence the reason why they are remaining silent. I am sure they are praying that our lord will soon raise the church from the cross she has endured, let us pray with them that our lord will give them the strength to remain faithful to the truth!

We shouldn't be judging others. Who says our sins aren't as bad or maybe even worse then this man's. Just because he's been divorced twice, doesn't mean we have the right to throw stones. Remember, Christ said we will be judged by the same measures we judge each other. In other words, if we forgive the sins of our neighbor, our sins will be forgiven but if we don't forgive them we just might not be forgiven.
