Peace of mind, Catholicism, divorce, disillusionment

Most modern approaches to mental and emotional health focus on victimisation and the need for personal empowerment. The Judaeo-Christian tradition, in contrast, strives to recapture a lost primordial innocence. Sharing this spirit, the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodoxy were one church for a thousand years before they separated. They separated in part over the issue of papal authority, with the Catholic Church trying to exercise it, and the Orthodox East refusing to accept it. Maybe this is why the two differ on the issue of divorce. Along with the Orthodox Church, I believe the Catholic belief in the indissolubility of marriage is wrong.
