| Abstract: | The article explores whether the Catholic Church can learn anything from the Orthodox tradition on the experience of the divorced and remarried faithful, in three steps: firstly, it outlines the progress of Catholic interest over the last few decades in the Orthodox approach to divorce and remarriage; secondly, it presents the main features of this approach against the broader context of the Orthodox world; and thirdly, it points out five aspects of the Orthodox practice that may prompt the Catholic Church to deepen its own reflection on the pastoral challenges of marriage and the family. |
