in the catholic church, we're all children

roneApparently, Chile is joining the third millennium by trying to pass a divorce law. Hell, they took longer than Colombia and Ireland! But, oh no, that's not OK with the Catholic Church! They want the law changed before it passes!
"One amendment the church is pressing would require a three-year wait even if couples agree to a divorce. If only one partner wanted to break up, the wait would be five years. The church also wants Chile's Catholics, before they marry, to be offered a chance to sign a legally binding pledge rejecting divorce."
Many things come to mind, but i'll just close by saying, this is fuckin' stupid. Fuck the Catholic Church and fuck their control-freakiness. If they're so worried about sin, they've got more pressing problems in their own house.

Some days ago the SO gave me a copy of the catechism(sp?), and, while it all is a major PITA, there's no proper definition of anything in it, so, as I understand it, one is allowed to do pretty much anything anyway, other than the stuff the 10 commandments forbid directly. And there's no such thing as "thou shalt never divorce" in the commandments.
