Sažetak
The article deals with the complex issue of the actual pastoral work and behaviour towards persons that experienced a failure of a valid Church marriage, and got remarried civilly. Theology discusses the problem, searching for acceptable solutions, especially in the context of the church practice, i.e. discipline regarding the persons in a second civil marriage and their non-admission to sacraments of confession and eucharist. This article considers the standpoint of the Church a clear direction, and does not discuss this issue, but searches for concrete pastoral possibilities of a systematic work with the separated, divorced and civilly remarried persons. The question is not the pastoral of sacraments, but the diakonia: the help and the service to those who subsequently to a divorce go through a difficult life situation. Workers and employees of the Church, parish vicars, are acquainted with the situation, especially regarding the number and the circumstances of life of interested believers; finally, the article attempts to outline a communication with those believers and a possible integration in the life of the church community, in accordance with the pastoral possibilities.
