About separation and divorce

I’ve been involved in first person, for many years now (since I’m almost entering my sixties) in situations of great relational suffering, mainly for professional reasons. I can assure you that I’ve seen situations where marital separation was an obligation, I’d say a true and real moral obligation and I say so in a Christian sense. The continuation of a marriage can even be – I beg pardon for this expression – a sin against nature. The bearing can become pathological masochism which, far from being a Christian virtue, becomes a perversion. In the same way, I’ve seen people who, by rebuilding a new union, have found life and sometimes even faith, leaving grave depression states. I remember a case in which a patient of mine, divorced, managed to overcome a serious psychotic state thanks to a new marriage. But the Magistracy fakes they don’t know any of this, in the same way they fake they don’t see that in many homosexual relationships there is much more love, tenderness and are more sacramental than some heterosexual couples that regularly go to church on Sunday mornings. The germ of the Inquisition is still alive in the Church… I dare say, therefore, that sometimes separation is the Will of our Lord and I believe that this statement is indisputable as are the laws of nature.
