Has anyone ever noticed that besides blaspheming the Holy Spirit there is another unforgivable sin: divorce?
We know of saints who became priests and even bishops after having once been murderers, adulterers, homosexuals, fornicators, robbers - you name it - yet divorced persons are not supposed to be priests or even deacons.
Can someone explain this?
Divorce seems to be the one ineradicable blot on one's moral tally sheet.
Conclusion: better to murder your wife than to divorce her.
If you do the former, you can be completely forgiven and eventually become a bishop.
Do the latter and you are marked like Cain forever.
