At a Catholic congress on marriage and family, Pope Benedict XVI reaffirmed the Catholic Church's stand against divorce and abortion. These, he said, "are serious offences... which violate human dignity, inflict deep injustice on human and social relations and offend God himself, guarantor of conjugal peace and origin of life.... They also affect innocent victims, the barely-conceived and unborn infant, the children caught up in divorces."
At the same time, Christians are called to help bring peace to people who have been affected by these tragic events: "The Church has the duty to be close to these people with love and delicacy."

I'm not a Roman Catholic and I disagree with a lot that the church teaches.
I do, however, have a lot of respect for its standing firm on controversial issues when compromise is the name of the game in so many other churches. Sin is sin, human nature has not change since the Fall, equally God's Law has never changed.
Big respect on this one!
Thanks for the comments, John. I agree.
The Roman Catholic Church has seen a lot of compromise on moral issues--notably among its members in the U.S.--but so far has stayed solid in most of its official pronouncements on these things.
John, I don't think I recognize you...how did you find my blog?
It looks like we live in a modern society which accepts divorce as though it was your every day bread, so religions are being put away.
