anyone who is cathloic or taken the marriage classes?

Question

Some of the things in the book they give are crazy things to say!!!!!
Like when the man comes home you have to look good he doesn't want you to look grungy!! and in () it says perfered to wear a jean skirt. and that not having kids is a sin and you will go to hell....and one other question about Catholic religion it is practiced and belived that Jesus died on the cross for forgivness of our sins, though also belive that if a man wants to marry a divorced women they will go to hell? but if jesus died on the cross how can the try and determin how you will go to hell?

what i am decsribing is a class taken through a Catholic Church and a book given to us to read and later talk about.

so the Cathloic church does not teach that if a man marries a women whom is divorced will go to hell now that I've learned plently of times.....now the other stuff that Im reading I hope is not true and I have never herd? BUt what about the other stuff I've mentioned

okay pbb I'm telling you what was in the book thank you very much. So don't answer the question if your going to be ingorant to the ? I'm not saying anything ingorant I'm telling you what I READ

Answer 1

I've been around the parish when the marriage courses are run. What you are describing is not a diocesan marriage course (I do not know what it is.)

The local course teaches couples about conflict resolution, organizing your lives, learning to trust and live with someone, and how to make decisions together.)

I don't know what it is you are describing, but I doubt it has anything to do with the Catholic church.

BTW - slaveof1? The marriage courses are typically run by lay people. MARRIED lay people.

As to the divorcees going to hell business, the church does not and has never preached that. What it does do is teach that such a person, who has not received an annulment, is not eligible for the sacraments. She makes no statement about the eternal fate of such individuals.

Don't believe me? How about the pope then?

Answer 2

Why is anyone taking this twit's question seriously?

I don't know that anyone cares much what she wears (jean skirts are so 70's, besides); and if this idiot wants to look grungy, let her be, although this was not mentioned either in the booklet that was given to us!

She is just rehashing the kind of anti-Catholic non-sense you see floating around the internet.

First off: is the man you are sleeping with married? If yes, then you are committing adultery, twit, and no amout of marriage prep can change that!

Second, is he divorced, and his wife is still alive? Then do NOT get married in the Catholic Church, genius! Get married in front of a judge (at least 30 days after he divorces his wife, silly).

Oks, you've been fed, can we shut-up now?

Answer 3

They are not saying that marrying a divorce woman will send you to hell. They are saying if you marry a divorce woman "IS HELL!!!"
The part of you wearing a jean skirt depends of how good you look in it. Of cource i agree with the one about looking good, you don't want your husband to look somewhere else do you? At the same time you don't want him to look all grungy, do you?
A single man is an incomplete animal, once married he's "FINISHED!!!"

Answer 4

Well, I haven't read or seen the book. Can you post the title and author?

Jesus teaches that a man (or woman) who marries a divorced woman (or man) commits adultery. Adultery is a mortal sin and does endanger your soul. God does not recognize a civil divorce. He joined the two together, how is it that the state government can be a higher power than God? So, if you marry a divorced person, you are committing adultery because that person is still joined to their first spouse by God. Not a thing to be taken lightly. This is a teaching of God, not the Church. The Church only states it..she can not change it.

Jesus did die on the cross for our sins. That doesn't mean you can do anything you want now. In offering himself for us, he created the bridge between God and man. But we still have to cross that bridge. Jesus tells us to take up OUR cross and follow him. This means this journey will not be an easy one. Sacrifice is part of the path that leads to salvation.

And it is a sin to prevent children. Not having children is not a sin, if you are open to life but do not get pregnant, then that's fine. But if you uses birth control to "prevent" children, that is a sin. This doesn't mean you need to have tons of kids. If you have a good reason to desire to wait or to space your children, you can abstain during the fertile times in your cycle to prayerfully avoid the possibility of getting preganant. Of course if God wills you get pregant, then it is a blessing. Abstaining is not the same as having sex but using birth control. Abstaining requires sacrifice, discussion with your spouse, and prayer to include God in your decision. This is a teaching of God, again the Church does not make this up, she only states it for the faithful in order to help guide them towards Christ.

As far as dressing nicely for your husband...it's not a bad idea. He also has a list of things (I'm sure) that he should do to please you as well.

The Church does not make the rules and laws of God, she only lovingly informs the faithful of God's desire for their lives and what they need to do to be in the fullness of grace. You can choose to not follow the Church's teachings...but at least you know you are stepping outside the circle of God's love and his grace.

Christina - I think it is immoral and disgusting that PPL have to take advice from men who are not allowed to marry and would never know in their right mind what it means to have a partnership!
