È vero che la Chiesa primitiva proibiva in modo assoluto di risposarsi dopo il divorzio?
Parole chiave:
divorzio, seconde nozze, indissolubilità del matrimonio, Ambrosiaste, AgostinoAbstract
La possibilità di seconde nozze nella Chiesa cattolica è ancora oggi oggetto di un intenso dibattito, anche nella Chiesa di rito latino. L’indagine storico-giuridica sulla disciplina delle seconde nozze nella scrittura e nella tradizione pre-Agostiniana dimostra che l’insegnamento dell’assoluta indissolubilità del matrimonio non era uniformemente accolta, anche nella Chiesa occidentale. Il commento di Ambrosiaster all’insegnamento paolino, infatti, dimostra che la possibilità di seconde nozze non era sempre esclusa, almeno fino a quando l’insegnamento di Agostino diventò la tradizione dominante in occidente.
Parole chiave: divorzio; seconde nozze; indissolubilità del matrimonio; Ambrosiaster; Agostino.
