Catholic Divorce vs Protestant Divorce vs Orthodox Divorce

The Catholic Church teaches that a valid, consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any human authority. The Eastern Orthodox Church teaches the same thing — and still grants ecclesiastically permitted divorces. The Protestant traditions disagree with both, and disagree with each other. This video breaks down exactly where the three traditions diverge: the single Greek word at the center of two thousand years of exegetical conflict; how the Catholic annulment system works and why some critics call it divorce under another name; the Orthodox doctrine of oikonomia and how a church that believes in indissolubility can permit second and third marriages; the internal fractures inside Protestantism between Luther, Calvin, and contemporary evangelical positions; and the edge cases — abuse, abandonment, the unbaptized spouse — where each tradition's real priorities become visible. No agenda. No editorial conclusions. Just the actual theology, on all three sides. 00:00 — Two Churches, One Word, Three Answers 01:51 — The Greek Word That Started Everything: Porneia in Matthew Chapter Nineteen 05:25 — The Catholic Position: Annulment, Nullity, and Canon 1095 08:17 — The Orthodox Position: Oikonomia and the Marriage That Can Die 11:32 — The Protestant Position: Luther, Calvin, and the Spectrum Within 13:51 — The Edge Cases That Reveal Everything 17:11 — What Is a Marriage?
