Cath. FAMILY-SYNOD 2015

Today Pope Francis in Rom-Vatican and we in St. Anthony Otjiwarongo open the Family-Synod. The Church as the "people of God" is moving, on the way...  where are we going?
"Go in peace" means today also: let's go to see HOW the Cath. Bishops will find a good healing solution to the queuing up problems...    one problem is:


The MARRIAGE in our time !
First we set the frame: Following the Bible, a very old thinking, God has created man + wife to become one body, to live together into the fullness of Life, a bond forever. God has given attractive sexuality, a very old thinking, to procreate children (one method to survive in a dangerous environment; or to become a big people or a big patriarchy). The marriage became with time a protected institution. Jesus was in favour of marriage, seeing it as the will of the Jewish Jahwe-God and - thousand years later - the marriage became in the Cath. Church an indissoluble Sacrament (sign of salvation). Within this frame today we accept: marriage is very complicated, not easy... if "it's not going" we ask for divorce... the Church accepts separation, but has in mind "the bond is going on". Therefore "re-marry" is not seen as a solution. This judgment is put in question.!
The Church is accused: not to show MERCY (The Orthodox-Christian Church at the other hand shows this mercy) and - not to re-marry is by nature wrong, because the Cath. Church has put "active sexuality into the exile of marriage" / you know: "outside marriage no sex".

To find a healing solution requests from the Bishops: to listen to the Holy Spirit.
The Bishops at the Sec. Vtic. Council (1962 - 1965) have found a good solution about the purpose of the marriage: 1. Mutual satisfaction, joy  2. Children...                         
tbc...                
May I give some points for consideration:
+ marriage can never be any more what it was! We got a total new situation...
+ the real problem is divorce, the ability to live together is not developed enough.
+ we need more accepted forms of "living together"; marriage is not enough.
+ "Holy Communion" is for the repentant sinners not first for the "Holy Ones".
+ The new "easy annulment" is only an emergency-bridge but not a solution.
   "We must care for the entrance not first for the way-out".

+ The view "in the old time all was better" is an illusion, deception.
