This is second volume in the series Marriage in the Catholic Church by Theodore Mackin, S.J. In this volume Fr. Mackin examines the long tradition on the Church on divorce and remarriage. His scholarly research shows that the tradition is neither simple nor uniform. The variety of ways in which the Church has faced the issues of divorce and remarriage make his study essential for anyone who seeks an understanding of how the Church might handle these issues in our own day and in the future.
