Nierozerwalność małżeństwa w optyce luterańskiej
Journal Title: Sympozjum - Year 2010, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
The issue of marriage indissolubility ranks as the main one among the numerous issues included in the specifically Lutheran view of marriage. While supporting the indissolubility of marriage, the Evangelical Lutheran Church allows for a divorce and does not rule out a possibility of the divorced entering other marriages in case of an irreversible breakup of marriage. As far as understanding of the clauses is concerned, Luther and his followers accepted their literal interpretation, that is, as being exceptions to the rule of indissolubility. First and foremost, it is adultery that, being destructive for marriage, is such an exception and a reason for divorce. Luther also added other reasons justifying divorce to prove that the Church is understanding toward “human weakness”. When one is studying the issue of marriage indissolubility in the documents of the dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church, one’s special attention is due to 1976 document of the Roman Catholic Study Commission, the Lutheran World Federation and the World Alliance of Reformed Churches titled: “Theology of Marriage and the Problem of Mixed Marriages”.
