I heard a story once about divorces in a traditional Catholic parish (FSSP), something like 3 or 4 couples married in the traditional rite and just a few years later divorced in part due to religious differences. I've heard other stories like this from other parishes, sspx, etc.
Does anyone know more about this?

I wouldn't be surprised- if one of the spouses was non-Catholic. Living as a Traditional Catholic with a non-Catholic would be difficult. I would imagine that lukewarm Catholics marrying non-Catholics end in less divorces than serious Catholics and non-Catholics. |

I would imagine that lukewarm Catholics marrying non-Catholics end in less divorces than serious Catholics and non-Catholics. I would not state that. Nor would I necessarily blame it on the non-Catholic part. If there is at least respect or clearly defined tolerance towards traditional Roman Catholic convictions of the other side (and in the upbringing of the children), no problem should arise at all. The problem often is that either the traditional Catholic side goes too far in demands concerning the Faith from the other, or that the other is not prepared to fullfil her/his vow of raising the children as Roman Catholics. And the latter case would be the breaking of an oath made before God, Church, spouse and community.... A grave thing. But the "Traditionalist Roman Catholic" World Movement is not separated or isolated from secular reality and the infections and diseases in modern society, family, media and politics. Sadly not. |

I think what happens a lot is that you have couples who married when they were not practicing, and then later one of them comes back to the Church, which I imagine causes a lot of problems.

Or, discovers the Church. And yes, it can cause grave and distressing problems in the family. Donna |

Although I must add that in my parish, which is SSPX, I know of several divorced parents, and I believe those were over faith issues as I said above, but most of the families are intact - especially those married in the Church, and especially those who do not practice birth control and have as many children as God will allow them to have.

That's always a good point to remember. Man's sinful nature doesn't take a holiday just because the man attends FSSP, SSPX, or whatever else. |

I've heard other stories like this from other parishes, sspx, etc. Am I to read"divorced" as "separated"? Does the catholic party go as far as sinning by remarrying? Only wondering ...  |

I don't think anyone is trying to solicit detraction, but asking an honest question.

The soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful. Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.
