The Motley Monk has posted a commentary over at The American Catholic titled "On divorce, remarriage, and responding adequately to the people's expectations: Sorry, folks, but this "experiment" has already been tried..."
The sole item on the agenda for the upcoming Synod of Bishops--the family--has sparked heated debate concerning the Church's teaching about marriage, especially among Germany's episcopate. The agenda has also ginned up hope among divorced Catholics, especially in the United States.
The Church doesn't have to become more like those who would fashion the gospel to fit their attitudes to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. No, the Church's mission is to promote the truth as it is conveyed in Scripture and Tradition.
Unfortunately, this attitude isn't very popular in this generation. Or, come to think of it, was it in any previous generation.
