Is divorce ever allowed in the Catholic Church? In this video, we unpack why the Church teaches the indissolubility of marriage, what Scripture and the Early Church Fathers said, when separation is legitimate, and how annulments differ from “Catholic divorce.” This is a hard, sensitive topic—handled with truth and mercy (cf. Jn 3:17).
