Sažetak
In this article the author elaborates on irregular situations according to the Familiaris consortio no. 79 - 84:
1) Experimental marriage (FC 80)
2) Truly free relationships
3) Catholics connected by civil marriage only
4) Persons who are separated and divorced and not married again
5) Persons divorced and remarried
In the first chapter the author talks about irregular situations that present the Church with difficult pastoral problems. The duty of Church is to try, as much as possible, to become acquainted with these situations, and their causes, looking at each case individually. Author gives the most space to divorced and remarried believers.
The second chapter considers the Epistle of doctrine congregation, in which the cure of souls of divorced and remarried believers is discussed. Also discussed is their admission to the sacraments of confession and communion, which represent, at the same time, their answer to the shepherds' epistles and the fundamental instructions of the bishop's of the Upper Rajna district (Saier, Lehman, Kasper). Although there are some differences between the attitudes of the above mentioned bishops and the Congregation of religious teachings, neither of them raises the question of insolubility of the marriage sacrament. The differences concern the possibility of admission of the divorced and remarried to the Eucharistic communion.
In the third chapter, author touches on irregular situations within the Croatian Church, showing statistical data about marriage and divorce in Croatia for the period between 1991 and 1997. On the basis of these figures he suggests pastoral action to be taken in irregular situations, not as an isolated pastoral, but in the context of general cure of souls within marriage and family, including differentiated pastoral.
