You forget that its legal status doesn't actually change things much for most Catholics, since we can't remarry without an annullment anyway. As regards abortion, the more places that banned it, the better.

The last time I was there - 10 years ago - I thought it was rather cosily like Britain in the 50s. Now it has joined the EU, had to accept immigration and will have to change a lot. There is a price to be paid for all that. Well, Malta’s a stone’s throw from here and I can see it on a clear day.

People may go into a union with the best intentions but, whilst I do not advocate taking divorce lightly, there are simply times when separation is inevitable. I have seen/heard it argued that Anglican Christianity (King James Bible, Book of Common Prayer) says that divorce is against the teaching of God. But in Deuteronomy, which deals with the only human being to have ever spoken to God, God himself lays down laws in which divorce is positively mandatory, so how on Earth can divorce be against God?? Do Anglican Christians worship God and live by His laws or Cranmer and Donne and their cherry-picking of the Bible? I've seen it argued that the Book of Common Prayer and King James Bible are beautiful and poetic. As if poetry is automatically truth and God's word, and beauty the thing to follow blindly. Do you not think that if Satan were to appear on Earth he wouldn't wear a sharp suit and... for some reason I'm thinking of the very plausible and slimy Tony Blair. A regular kinda guy. Anyway, I digress. My point is that the Bible proves that divorce in NOT against the word of God. It is just not convenient for those govenors of society who wish to subjugate the people. If they can dominate the bedroom and the heart, they have your very soul. If there is a God, he would not be against true love. So to be against another marriage is wrong. Where there is not love, let there be, when all else fails, forgiveness. Absolutely Ellee, I agree with your closing point totally.

Divorce is always regrettable when children are involved, but it is a fact of life today and couples should be allowed to move on and remarry if they are unhappy.

Ireland allowed divorce only in 1997, whereas elsewhere in the world, Chile legalised it only a year ago. In fact, the Philippines is the only other country where divorce is still banned.
