Document Details : Title: Versöhnung möglich? Subtitle: Zu einem neuen Vorstoß in der Frage der wiederverheirateten Geschiedenen Author(s): KNIEPS-PORT LE ROI, Thomas Journal: Marriage, Families & Spirituality Volume: 8 Issue: 1 Date: Spring 2002 Pages: 144-146 DOI: 10.2143/INT.8.1.2004509 Abstract : In a recent article, Belgian theologian Paul De Clerck readdressed the issue of divorced and remarried Catholics. He questioned the present teaching and practice in that it regards remarriage rather than divorce as conflicting with the indissolubility of marriage. Arguing that divorce should be forgiveable, he suggests a pentitential rite for divorced faithful which reconciles them with God, reintegrates them into the full ecclesial community, and eventually offers them the possibility of a second marriage. |
