Marriage is a holy sacrament

The grace bonanza is free of charge; it is there to be accepted through free will, aided by our conscience. Although through tradition most of Maltese people are Roman Catholics, we are not obliged to observe the Commandments and follow the advices of Our Lady and the example of her son Jesus.
A defrocked priest can marry but then he must follow the teaching on marriage. The problem with the Catholic Church is that it is lost in philosophy and theology and it is failing to understand the soul.
Cupid’s love is not the same as Jesus’ love; likewise Aristotle’s soul is not the same as described by St Paul. We need to understand that through the sacrament of marriage, a bond is created to make a body to take a wounded part of God to make a regenerated and healed soul. In this context we have to think why God sent his Son to die on the cross, and to hell to overcome death.
People are free to die a second death.
