Sample letter to Bishop
Most Rev. __________ ,
 

Please help reclaim Catholic marriages from the jaws of this country’s Divorce Industry.

Divorce-on-demand has been the law of the land for over 30 years.  But, what most people don’t understand is that only ONE spouse needs to demand the divorce, and the other spouse can’t do anything to stop it.  Worse yet, children of divorcing parents can’t object to what is taking place to their precious intact family.  They are given NO VOICE in what is happening — no way to plead their case, to beg for help for their parents, to ask the judge to help their parents try to stay married.

Jurisdiction over Catholic marriage was never relinquished to the civil authorities.  But somehow, over time, civil authorities gained control of this sacrament.  Due to the nature of our laws, now, when couples marry, they are essentially rolling a Trojan Horse into their homes, since the state marriage license — which priests require all couples to obtain — is the vehicle the courts use to gain total control over the family, once one spouse sets foot into an attorney’s office to begin a divorce action.

The trap quickly closes and there’s no way to stop the divorce machinery.  Most people are unaware of what happens to families when these laws take over.  Most people believe that “no-fault” divorce is done by a “mutual consent” process, but that is hardly the case.   In fact, in 80% of divorces, one spouse is forced out of the marriage by this unilateral system.

All clergy understand what Roe v Wade brought to this country, but how many truly understand the diabolic nature of our no-fault “forced” divorce system?

I am writing to ask you to help stop the devastation wrought by the 300-billion-dollar-a-year Divorce Industry that destroys marriages that could be repaired, if given half a chance.  We need to open the tribunals to handle marital disputes PRIOR to the divorce.  By providing help to unravel the relationship conflicts, tribunals could provide great hope to Catholic families in this country.

When we as Catholics marry, we enter into an Order of Spouses, agreeing to follow the teachings of the Church.   For those who do end up in the civil arena, the Church needs to remind them that they agreed to do differently.

Marriage is at the heart of our domestic churches.  Please help to defend marriage.

With my deepest gratitude for your help,
