Question: “The
question was on the notion of Catholic divorce, if the motu proprio has
closed the debate e before the synod on the theme?
“This document , this ‘Motu Proprio’ [on speeding up the annulment process] facilitates the
process and the timing, but it is not divorce because marriage is indissoluble
when it is a sacrament. And this the Church cannot change. It’s doctrine. It’s
an indissoluble sacrament”… Another
problem: the affective maturity for a marriage. Another problem: faith. ‘Do I
believe that this is forever? Yes, yes, yes. I believe.’ ‘But do you believe
it? The preparation for a wedding: I think so often that to become a priest there
‘s a preparation for 8 years, and then, it’s not definite, the Church can take
the clerical state away from you. But, for something lifelong, they do four courses! Four times… Something isn’t right. It’s something
the Synod has to deal with: how to do preparation for marriage. It’s one of the
most difficult things.”[1]
