Farmer:
Also, 1 Co 7 syas that if an unbelieving spouse "departs", that a brother OR a sister IS NOT BOUND in such a case.
Doesn't that mean "free to remarry"?
What else COULD it mean in the context of that well-preserved passage?
Well-preserved Biblical texts versus long-standing historical interpretations are certainly two different things; right?
LOTS of Catholic considerations of rights of marriage and divorce had to do with preserving property rights, royal lineages, and so forth; right?
Prime example: Henry VIII.
