Pope: Divorces Deserve Compassion, Too

Pope Francis once again shows his heart as he understands the need for compassion for the divorced.

During a recent morning Mass, he made news when he said the divorced should be “accompanied,” not “condemned.”

This message will be balm to many divorced Christians—Catholic or not—who have had fellow believers heap shame and judgment on top of the pain that accompanies the loss of a marriage. It’s also a reminder that while the church has caused plenty of pain, it is meant to be a place of incredible healing.
