Bishop Murphy delivered this address to the North American Conference for Separated and Divorced Catholics at the University of Notre Dame in July of 1981. He is a strong advocate for the development of a meaningful ministry to women and men who have suffered the trauma of divorce. In his view, “When a marriage relationship is broken or weakened … what should be the response of the Christian community, the response of the Church? The response should be the ministry of Jesus – a ministry of care, compassion, healing and concern while at the same time maintaining the values of Jesus.”
