All true love is indissoluble

A book written by a bishop, Dominican, and former lawyer. A book that refuses to amalgamate between necessarily different human situations. A book that considers in one movement the Catholic theology of love and faith in the sacraments, the practice of canon law in the Church and the fundamental principles of universal law. Because the real debate does not concern an alleged tension between truth and mercy. On the contrary, the challenge that commands this reflection is to show how mercy can be shown in the very name of truth. And if we want to talk about sin, we must undoubtedly begin by admitting that, second union or not, we are all sinners called to forgive and to be forgiven. This apology, vibrant with the spirit of the Gospel, thus constitutes, and first of all, a defense of the Covenant that the living God tirelessly proposes to every woman and every man in the reality of their existence and their own covenant.

A lawyer by training, a Dominican by vocation, Brother Jean-Paul Vesco was prior of the Province of France before being appointed Bishop of Oran in 2012.
