Pope's Stance on Divorce

by Jessica Goerke

This seemed relevant particularly to Friday's class discussion...

Pope Benedict XVI will be presenting a gift to Prince Charles that includes a copy of the 1530 appeal to Pope Clement VII asking to annul King Henry's marriage to Catherine. The Prince and Duchess will arrive in Rome this Sunday, and it marks Prince Charles first visit to the Vatican since his marriage with Diana. The "gift" will serve as a reminder and help heal the schism between the Church of England and the Catholic Church.
