CATHOLIC and DIVORCE

“when you’re getting married in catholic church , it’s for life , you can’t get divorce”

Hands up.. people… who believe in this notion!!!!!!

Well I did, I heard this notion from my mom, family, friends, teachers, but now that I think about it.. never from a priest…

IT’S PARTLY TRUE!!! Getting married in Catholic Church IS NOT a death sentence.
Yes, you can’t get divorce under Catholic church, BUT you could get an annulment ; Both has the same conclusion : you don’t have to stay in un-happy marriage.

Think about it……

If the Catholic Church FORCE people to be miserable by staying in an un-happy marriage? Where’s the universal love that the church have been preaching for centuries????

Personally , i know some people who stay in un-happy marriage because they made that commitment of being married under Catholic laws.

Well… go and talk to a priest…. , ask for an annulment. You and your partner will have to go to couple counseling, catholic church strongly suggest to give your marriage another try under church supervision, and if it doesn’t work, then the church will agree to give you an annulment, and divorce.

So you could live your life, being true to your self and have another chance to be happy.

Conclusion: DIVORCE is NOT a sin, lying to yourself IS A SIN!
