Once upon a time divorce was considered to be a SIN. Are donjohn's 3 marriages more problematic than his multiple affairs/betrayals/abuses?

I don't think it was strictly a Catholic thing. Being unmarried was the last thing any woman wanted to be so she married  whatever person was willing to marry her and then hung in no matter what. That was then.  Women have the vote now. Women can support themselves and their children so they don't need men to do that for them. You'd think by now women would be extremely supportive of a woman prez but it seems that isn't so. Even though they escaped the stereotype themselves of women being only good for sex, having and raising kids, and housekeeping they still buy into it by voting for a vermin man rather than any woman. Weird.

    Jesus's teachings against divorce must be seen against the Rabbinical thinking of his time which permitted divorce under certain circumstances  which he regarded as unfair.  Roman Catholicism has particular sins and even a hierarchy of them while in Protestantism we are ALL sinful because we are all imperfect creations. 

    Your assumption seems to be that Mr. Trump is guilty of all those things you mention.  I have no such knowledge. I don't know anything about how many times he was married. And I would guess perhaps I, somewhat younger than he is, have had more "affairs" than he has, though I have only been married once (which was not until I was 53).  And have I betrayed and abused anyone I have been with?  Perhaps.  I would not judge others from that point of view.

    I believe that for most of us security is very important.  Which includes not only a husband and family but being part of a community as well.  So as much as many of us have learned how to do well in a job or a career we still desire the emotional security of a close relationship.  Yes many of us are still financially dependent upon men. Though many of us have worked not to be and are not in that way.  I believe we need men to complete us. 

    Please understand that many women are very suspicious if not envious of another woman who excels at something. Because the way they have learned to see it we should somehow all be down on the same level and if we do better it must not because of our work or abilities or drive but rather as a function of our looks or who we know. Because they want to think that they could themselves have excelled as we do if only they had got the breaks.  So many women do not trust those of us who have been more successful. 

    I love to vote for women and have on a number of occasions. But I voted for Trump rather than Clinton NOT because he was a man but rather because she expressed a hopelessly short-sighted and impractical liberal agenda while Trump promised to defend a number of traditional conservative values.  My husband and I have supported and given money to conservative female candidates such as Carly Fiorina , Shaunna O'Connell and others and even outside out state such as Carla Spalding.  But we will not support a destructive liberal agenda of a candidate just because she is a woman.
