Perfect way to separate the sinners from those who are not sinners.

One cousin had such a horrible ex-husband that her lawyer refused payment for the divorce. He said she had been through enough. Perhaps that's something the pope could take into account. People today marry cautiously, divorce for the most part with reluctance and with good reason, and need to keep living their life, including trying again for happiness. They need to be forgiven, like that lawyer did for my cousin.Rationalist1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14461900851608484538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926891106758008587.post-66542416952678309982014-02-18T09:15:50.088-05:002014-02-18T09:15:50.088-05:00And how may I ask does one 'compromise' o...And how may I ask does one 'compromise' on divorce.
