What about the works of mercy? One of them is to admonish sinners. So, should we keep back from this work of mercy? If I see my brother falling in sin, shall I not admonish him? Does not Christ himself tell us to correct others who are sinning?

Let every voter on divorce whether in Parliament or in a referendum be careful! Playing with divorce is playing with fire. Let us remember that God does not want divorce and this prohibition is for all people, Catholics and non-Catholics, without exception. No conscience can ever justify divorce or voting for divorce. If divorce is a grave sin, voting for divorce is equally grievously sinful. No one is going to deceive God.
