(Canon1119). Thisistheonlycaseof dissolutionfromthebondof avalidChristianmarriage. Thesecondcasereferred toconcernsmarriagebetweeninfidelsandisknown asthePaulinePrivilege.

St.Paul,writingtothe Corinthians,clearlystates thatmarriedpersonsmust notseparate,andiftheydo, theymustremainunmarriedorbereconciled(1Cor. VII,ii).Hethenproceedsto announcethefollowingexception:

(1Cor.VII.12-15).

ToleranceinaSensibleFramework

ByLinusM.Riordan

Thereismuchtalkthese daysaboutintolerance,and manyenemiesoftheCatholicChurchareproneto pointtheirfingersattheCatholicChurchandaccuse herparochialschoolsystem ofbeinga"divisive"force andundemocratic.

ThenotedFrenchphilosopher,JacquesMaritain, writinginthe"Journalof ArtsandLetters,"comesto thedefenceoftheChurch andCatholicschoolsby showingthattruthandtolerancegohandinhand.

CoercionofViews

"Therearepeople,"Mr. Maritainsays,"whothink thatnottobelieveinany truth,ornottoadhere firmlytoanyassertionas unshakeablytrueinitself, isaprimaryconditionrequiredofdemocraticcitizensinordertobetolerant ofoneanotherandtolive inpeacewithoneanother.

"Thesepeopleareinfact themostintolerantpeople, forifperchancetheywere tobelieveinsomething unshakeablytrue,theywouldfeelcompelled,by thesamestroke,toimpose byforceandcoerciontheir ownbeliefontheirco-citizens."

Mr.Maritainpointsout thatsuchindividualscan avoidtheirtendencyto fanaticismonlybycutting themselvesofffromtruth.

Inademocracysuchapolicywouldbedisastrous,for ademocraticsocietycannot liveonuniversalscepticism, butmustenjoycommon practicalbeliefinthetruths offreedom,justice,law,and theothertenetsofdemocracy.

RightofDenial

"And(indemocracy)we donotcalluponthepeople todecidebecauseweare awareofourignoranceof whatisgood,butbecause weknowthistruth,and thatthepeople havearighttoself-government."

Tolerance,finally,isdefinedbytheFrenchphilosopher:"Thereisrealand genuinetoleranceonlywhen amanisfirmlyandabsolutelyconvincedofatruth, ofwhatheholdstobea truth,andwhenheatthe sametimerecognizesthe rightofthosewhodenythis truthtoexistandtocontradicthim,notbecause theyarefreefromtruth butbecausetheyseektruth intheirownwayandbecauseherespectsinthem humannatureandhuman dignity,andthoseveryresourcesandlivingspiritsof theintellectandofconsciencethatmakethenfpotentiallycapableofattainingthetruthheloves,if somedaytheyhappento seeit."
