| Summary: | In a magisterial book-length study, Professor E. Christian Brugger concludes that the canons of the Council of Trent, given the beliefs and intentions of its participants, provide "a dogmatic definition of the absolute indissolubility of marriage as a truth of divine revelation" (original italics). The present concern is whether Brugger's arguments support this conclusion. Also subject to scrutiny are the relevance, plausibility, and consistency of the conciliar thinking on which his arguments are premised. It will be argued that Brugger's conclusion is unwarranted, leaving the question of divorce and remarriage an open one. |
