Email from Stephen Safranek today

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to read my email. After having been given permission to post Jay McNally's article about no fault divorce and the work that Professor Safranek has been doing for an Ohio case, I received this email from Steve Safranek himself, and also have his permission to post it.

I have been following his website for awhile, and regret that I honestly had not put it on here as yet, with the others (found in the archives) . If I could get the Links to work, he would have one placed here along with several others.

TrueMarriage is looking for good attorneys to work with, so if you know of any good attorneys who are frustrated with the destruction of marriages via no fault forced, unilateral divorce, you can contact him through his website. I am sure that this would include any Canon Lawyers who may be interested in helping those described by JPII :

*****
The gift of the sacrament is at the same time a vocation and commandment for the Christian spouses, that they may remain faithful to each other forever, beyond every trial and difficulty, in generous obedience to the holy will of the Lord: "What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."[55] To bear witness to the inestimable value of the indissolubility and fidelity of marriage is one of the most precious and most urgent tasks of Christian couples in our time. So, with all my brothers who participated in the Synod of Bishops, I praise and encourage those numerous couples who, though encountering no small difficulty, preserve and develop the value of indissolubility: Thus in a humble and courageous manner they perform the role committed to them of being in the world a "sign"--a small and precious sign, sometimes also subjected to temptation, but always renewed--of the unfailing fidelity with which God and Jesus Christ love each and every human being. But it is also proper to recognize the value of the witness of those spouses who, even when abandoned by their partner, with the strength of faith and of Christian hope have not entered a new union: These spouses too give an authentic witness to fidelity, of which the world today has a great need. For this reason they must be encouraged and helped by the pastors and the faithful of the church.

Rest assured that his request for prayers is highly honored here, and is a long held heart felt issue very dear to this heart.


Dear WiCatholic1:

Thanks for posting the article on the MacFarlane divorce. I am hoping that the actions of Catholics can help us stem the tide on the no-fault divorce culture.

I would also appreciate a link from your blog to: truemarriage.net

to send us some of your traffic.

Also, I am trying to fund the project. I will speak to any audience anywhere, anytime to try to raise the money to keep this project moving forward. Our needs are great.

Please pray for our work and the broken families out there especially in this season of the holy family.

Stephen Safranek
