A response to: Couples With Broken Marriages Find Support
If the people living in a divorced and remarried situation are in objective mortal sin I have a problem with retreats to make them feel comfortable. This seems to be enabling them in their sin rather than calling them to repentance.
Would we hold retreats for those who have stolen but don't choose to return the money or items in as timely a fashion as possible? I believe we would assist them in returning the items.
There is always the option for those in irregular marriages to stop the intimacy in this marriage and be reconciled with the Church. Many of us are unable to share in intimacy with our spouses due to injury, illness, separation, war, etc.
I have been separated for over 10 years and do have some compassion, but hate to see the coddling which may cause these people to lose their eternal salvation.
