Are Catholic Divorces Immoral?
Since March of 2007, my marriage (at least for me), has been falling apart before my eyes. I have fallen out of love with my wife, who is forced to stay in our house and live in her wheelchair because of arthritis in her knees and back.
Every other weekend, I go "out of town on business", but in reality, I sleep over at her beautiful 19 year old sister's house for a fun-filled weekend featuring her and her scantly clad coed friends of hers. When I can't get out of the house, I invite my sister-in-law over to "sleep over", while my wife is bed-ridden.
I need to get out of this marriage, please give me some help on breaking it off without offending my religious leaders.

i think you have to ask the Church for absolution of the marriage before getting a legal divorce.
i also think you're a troll.
Whoa. You don't 'fall out of love' with someone. Love is a choice. You chose that when you said your vows: for better or for worse. You made a promise before God. Your wife can't help it that she's in a wheelchair. You need to seek marital counseling, not seeking 'fun-filled weekends' with her younger sister.
You don't need to get out of this marriage, you need to stay in it and be the responsible husband God has called you to be. Your marriage is your ministry, dude. And there is NO WAY you'd not offend any religious leaders.
May God give you revelation about this.
There is no such thing as divorce in the Roman Catholic Church. You are an adulterer is God's eyes and the Church's eyes.
We have annulments, but we won't be able to get one for this.
You have no commitment or love. You are a terrible husband.
May God forgive you.
Divorce is sinful per Jesus Christ.
I am not hearing alot of self sacrifice on your part...maybe you can not love selflessly so maybe you never really understood what true love meant.
Your actions immaturity and insanity may be grounds for annulment for your wife.
Somehow your question bring Corporal Klinger to mind.
I hope you're a troll, but...
Marriage is about caring for the other person. the reason marriage falls apart easily in the states is because everyone's a narcissistic freak. You want to screw 19 year old girls? Suppress your ego, because you need to stop trying to get everything you want.
You should ask yourself, instead, if it's immoral in the eyes of God. not in the eyes of your church.
But anyways, The Bible says that divorce is a sin.
Cheating on your wife is also a sin.
Good grief, I feel sorry for your wife.
Your marriage isn't working because God is not in it. And you are letting your selfishness drive you around.
Catholicism has changed a lot since the Old Guard generations years ago. Not all divorces are immoral. But I wouldn't see myself as a saint in this situation. At all
DIVORCE IS WRONG it's that simple
GOD DOESN'T LIKE DIVORCE FOR ANY REASON
he only allowed it for adultry because his people were complaining, but still he doesn't even want it in that case either.
in sickness and in health, you made a choice, you better not leave her, you don't leave someone because they are sick.
You better just pray that God will heal her, YOU DON'T LEAVE HER
You must be a jerk.
If you divorce you can never remarry in a Catholic church; I think you could get an annulment.
Isn't there something about adultery in the bible??? If your a good catholic you wouldn't be cheating!!!
