Does the RCC ever read the Bible: Divorce

[eccles]

The "Holy" Roman Catholic Church forbids divorce. Does it not know the Bible:
Deuteronomy

24
1If a man take a wife, and have her, and she find not favour in his eyes, for some uncleanness: he shall write a bill of divorce, and shall give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2And when she is departed, and marrieth another husband, 3And he also hateth her, and hath given her a bill of divorce, and hath sent her out of his house or is dead: 4The former husband cannot take her again to wife: because she is defiled, and is become abominable before the Lord: lest thou cause thy land to sin, which the Lord thy God shall give thee to possess.

I suggest consulting what Jesus had to say on the matter.

Of course, only the RCs believe in their primacy over marriage.

I'll say;the arrogant cunts claim to have annulled mine. They charged my ex wife $1500.


Annulment is a sublime piece of humbuggery and sophistry which allows Catholics to remarry in the church AFTER a civil divorce. It is not legally recognised anywhere as far as I know.


This loophole has been used for centuries. People seem to be unaware or ignore the simple fact that the church could have and would have given Henry Viii his divorce had it been expedient for the church. Unfortunately for Henry,England was still a minor power,and the church did not want to upset European Catholics, especially Spain.


The most egregious case I can remember is the annulment of the marriage of Princes Caroline of Monaco to Philip Junot,in 1992.(she had in fact remarried in 1983)
