The phenomenon of divorce concerns at present a significant number of marriages, including sacramental marriages. The phenomenon of divorce is most frequently a subject of interest for sociologists and lawyers. Less often, divorce happens to be the subject of reflection of moral theology, and when it is, in reflecting the issues of the conditions of moral acceptability of divorce and pastoral consequences for the sacramental life are discussed. Although these are important themes of a very complex issue, it seems that they do not include some aspects, which are essential in the face of making decisions about of the separation of the spouses, the breaking down of marital life and its results for the spouses themselves, the family and the community in which they live. The category which, in a systematic way, takes into consideration the complexity of moral issues connected with divorce, is the responsibility understood as a duty experienced by every person in his/her conscience and obligation to take action. The notion is strictly connected with personal responsibility to give an account of every action or its abandonment, as well as acceptance of the guilt resulting from it and making atonement. In the case of the decision of divorce, it is first of all the responsibility of the spouses for each other, for the offspring, but also for the community of believers – the Church. The following text is an attempt to present the complex aspects of responsibility that arise in the face of divorce on the three mentioned planes of life.
