Pope Francis on Wednesday acknowledged that sometimes it is impossible for spouses to stay together. “It is true…that there are cases when separations are inevitable.
Sometimes they can even become morally necessary,” the pontiff said during his weekly audience in Saint Peter’s Square.
Francis said he was referring to cases of domestic violence and exploitation, affecting the weaker partner or small children. His remarks came a day after the publication of a working document for the Oct. 4-25 Synod.
The summit of bishops is due to discuss how to treat people who do not comply with Catholic family ethics, including divorcees, unmarried couples and homosexuals.
“Around us we find several families in so-called irregular-I don’t like this word – situations, and we pose ourselves many questions.
“How can we help them? How can we support them? How can we support them so that children do not become hostages of their father or mother?,” the Pope said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I love this pope! He is down to earth realistic and absolutely sincere. May God preserve him.

ReplyDeleteI know many of you followers of Pope believe that you are of Christ but you are not, Pope,Catholics are not a Christian.

DeleteDear bbccty, seperation in the Catholic church does not mean divorce. The church long ago started allowing seperations when such irregularities exist as mentioned by the pope but hardly ever allows divorce, infact the last known one was in the 1950's. Mind you this will never lead to a change in its stance but a change in the way the issues are handled. Just wait until the end of the Synod to understand what I am talking about.
