text: Yes, and isn't it interesting that he didn't use this opportunity to state that Moses was wrong to do what he did ? 
  
  Instead, he defended Moses and his decision.  Yes... very interesting indeed!   
  
  Moses was dealing with a stiff-necked people and was struggling to just "keep it together".  Could it be that Jesus understood the difficult  circumstances that Moses was in and didn't hold the divorce decision against him?  After all Moses was focused on the higher goal of establishing the covenant relationship between the Yahweh and his people.
  
  Now Jesus does state the ideal of marriage that we should strive for.  Pope Francis agrees with that ideal as well.
  
   However as the "Moses" of our age, the Holy Father is also focused primarily on that precious relationship between God and his people above all else.
