It would have been good to read AL before getting married, except it had not been written until we were divorcing. It is interesting to note the absence of a discussion of how in-laws figure into the decision to divorce, even though Jesus mentions the issue in Mark (and nothing at all about homosexuality). Divorce is a contagion. If one or both families of origin are broken, I suspect chances are worse for success. Other takeaways are Professor Imperator-Lee’s comments on how doctrine romanticizes marriage (I would add sex to that) and the need for lay rather than priestly formation, although allowing married priests would take care of both circumstances.
