Pope Francis says it may be “morally necessary” for some troubled
families to split up so that the weaker partner or the children can be
protected. He said this today June 24th while addressing Catholic
faithfuls ahead of a global meeting on family life in October. He said;
“There are cases in which separation is inevitable. Sometimes, it can
even be morally necessary, when it’s about shielding the weaker spouse
or young children from the more serious wounds caused by intimidation
and violence, humiliation and exploitation”
He went on to say that after separations, it is important that the
couple is counseled so that the 'child does not become daddy or mummy’s
hostage”. He noted that there are many families with 'irregular
situations' in the world.
