Does adultery cancel marriage?

Hello and welcome to Focus.

The Catholic Cancer Podcast for living, understanding and defending your Catholic faith.

I'm Sy Kelly, your host.

In practice, we Catholics and Protestants probably don't live very differently when it comes

to marriage.

I don't know what the statistics are, but it would seem to be very similar.

But doctrinally, we are quite different when it comes to marriage.

Catholics hold the view that a marriage, once constituted, can never be sundered.

Protestants, not all, but many, hold the view that, no, there's an exception to this, and

it's in Matthew's gospel when Jesus says that in the case of adultery, accept in a case

of adultery.

In other words, a marriage is indesoluble, except in the case of adultery.

Is that true?

Well, that's one of the challenges Carlo takes on in his book, Meeting the Protestant Challenge,

how to answer 50 Biblical objections to Catholic beliefs.

And when I say Carlo, of course, I mean Carlo Rousard, and here's what he has to say about

marriage.

Carlo Rousard, pretty good to follow this, thanks for being with us here.

Thank you, Sy.
