During the first centuries the divorced and remarried were pardoned of their sins and given communion , but later the practice was abandonded in the West.

Today Pope Francis has brought it back onto the field , while the dueling goes on amongst the Cardinals.

Rome , January 31st 2014 ; In the middle of February the Cardinals and Bishops of the Council of the Secretariat of the Synod will meet to evaluate the responses to the questionnaires distributed across the globe in October.

Joseph Ratzinger, both as Cardinal and as Pope , has repeatedly brought up the hypothesis of allowing access to communion for the divorced and remarried ,"who have come to a well founded conviction of conscience concerning the nullity of their first marriage , but are unable to prove this nullity by the judicial route"

Benedict XVI Warned that this "is a highly complex problem and ought to bestudied further"

As the Synod on the family draws close Pope Francis has made room for an encounter between positions that are diffrent if not opposed , contributing himself to generating the expectation of "openness"

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ;

the earth was waste and void ; darkness covered the abyss , and the spirit of God was stirring above the waters,

 God said "Let there be light", and there was light ,God saw that the light was good,

God separated the light from the darkness ,

calling the light Day and the darkness Night.

And there was evening and morning, the first day.

Then God said,"Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters." And so it was.

Give ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh.

 Hear my loud cry,my King, my God;

for I to thee will pray,

Lord thou shalt early hear my voice;

I early will direct My pray'r to thee; and looking up,

an answer will expect.

For thou art not a God that doth in wickedness delight;

Neither shall evil dwell with thee,

Nor fools hand in thy fight, All that ill-doers thou hast,

Cast off the liars be;

The bloody and deceitful man abhorred is by thee.

But I into thy house will come in thine abundant grace;

And I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy place.

Because of  those mine enemies,

Lord, in thy righteousness

Do thou me lead; do thou thy way make straight before my face.

For in their mouths there is no truth,

their inward part is ill;

Their throats an open sepulchre, their tongue doth flatter still,

O God destroy them; let them be by their own counsel quell'd ;

Them for their many sins cast out,

for they gainst thee rebell'd.

But let all joy that trust in thee,

and still make shouting noise;

For them thou fav'st; let all that love thy name in thee rejoice.

For Lord , unto the righteous man thou wilt thy blessing yeild;

With favour thou wilt compass him  about,  as with a sheild. 

 Praise the Lord , all ye nations ,proclaim his glory,all ye peoples,for his mercy is confirmed upon us,and the faithfullness ofthe Lord abides forever

By paiience a prince shall be appeased ,

and a soft tongue shall

break hardness

Having set out from Elim the whole Israelite community came into the desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai , on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.

Here in the desert the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

The Israelites said to them " Would that we had died at the Lord's hand in the land of Egypt, as we sat by our fleshpots and ate our fill of bread! But you had to lead us into this desert to make the whole community die of famine!"
