A VERY COMMON ERROR: BITTER ZEAL

“It is vain to hope to attract souls to God by bitter zeal. On the contrary, harm is done more often than good by taunting men harshly with their faults and reproving their vices with asperity. True the Apostle exhorted Timothy: ‘Accuse, beseech, rebuke,’ but he took care to add: ‘with all patience’ (II Timothy 4:2).”

 Saint Pius X, E Supremi Apostolatus.

INDISOLUBILITY OF MARRIAGE

Council of Trent, canons on the Sacrament of Marriage Canon 7 says:

 “If anyone says the church erroneously taught and teaches, according to evangelical and apostolic doctrine, that the bond of marriage cannot be dissolved by the adultery of one of the spouses; and that neither party, even the innocent one who gave no grounds for the adultery, can contract another marriage while their spouse is still living; and that the husband commits adultery who dismisses an adulterous wife and takes another woman, as does the wife dismissing an adulterous husband and marrying another man: let him be anathema.”
