Jesus indeed states in all four Gospels and injunction against divorce. However the Greek Orthodox church which the Roman Catholic church validates that churches understanding of Sacraments allows divorce one time with the reasoning being mercy for mistakes. The Orthodox church has great respect for Scripture and church teaching. So please when using terms such as morally grave understand that ALL are in need of
mercy even those using the term morally grave

Thank you for your reflection. Sorry about your relative. Regarding divorce, there is a lot of confusion about that. Catholic Answers does a good job pointing out that the Catechism says under certain narrow circumstances, “civil divorce” may be “tolerated” and “does not constitute a moral offense.” However, divorce that “claims to break the marital contract” (CCC 2384) is never morally allowed. There is no such thing as a spouse “breaking” the marriage bond or contract. It is immoral to attempt, and a grave sin for the one who has that intent.

Today’s Gospel leaves us with plenty to think and pray about. No cursing, don’t judge, God’s endless forgiveness, enduring love, marriage conditions…all good stuff from the heart of Jesus. Amazing! Peace with you my brother.
