text: Part 7
  If one buys that interpretation, then much falls into place. The other Gospel passage on divorce does not describe the dispute, the two options presented to Jesus, but simplifies that divorce is proscribed "except for adultery," which just so happen to be the choice Jesus made in the parallel passage. In other words, an apparent discrepancy disappears--Jesus accept divorce on the principles of Leviticus (adultery), and reject divorce as a male prerogative that can be exercised for any reason. 
  
  And that leave Paul as the ONLY passage that has Jesus rejecting divorce without exception, and Paul demonstrated with his action, that the Church had the authority of override Jesus as Paul understood him.
  
  Finally, after all of that, I would invite them to read Amoris Laetitiae, and understand it as the Church still struggling after 2000 years to deal with divorce. 
  
  The purpose of the internal forum is not to defend the magisterium over against individual conscience, as you suggest.
