Matthew Levering, The Indissolubility of Marriage.


- A highly detailed and very clearly written book supporting the Catholic Church’s doctrine on the indissolubility on marriage. It was published in 2019.

- Amoris Laetitia is Pope Francis's encyclical published in 2016 which defends the Church's traditional position but encourages increased pastoral care to affected spouses.

- Levering seeks to justify the Church’s position but gives a considerable amount of space to contrary theological views.

- He is not persuaded by these views. I disagree with him, and find his position trapped in a theological linguistic universe unrelated to the real one.
