| Summary: | The pastoral problem of divorce and remarriage among Catholics, especially in the developed world, has caused some Catholic authors to give attention to the Orthodox notion of oikonomìa and how it might be applied to the marriage discipline of the Catholic Church. The pastoral crisis has created favourable comment from Catholic writers on Eastern marriage practices, which allow remarriage after a period of penance. This article considers whether this truly is a viable pastoral solution or is in fact incompatible with the Catholic understanding of marital indissolubility. Le problème pastoral du divorce et du remariage chez les catholiques, surtout dans les pays développés, a amené certains auteurs catholiques à s’intéresser à la notion orthodoxe d’oikonomìa et à la manière dont elle pourrait être appliquée à la discipline matrimoniale de l’Église catholique. La crise pastorale a suscité des commentaires favorables de la part des auteurs catholiques sur les pratiques orientales en matière de mariage, qui permettent un remariage après une période de pénitence. Cet article examine si cette solution pastorale est vraiment viable ou si elle est en fait incompatible avec la conception catholique de l’indissolubilité conjugale. |
