“Directory of Family Ministry for the Church in Italy”  has an introduction by Saint John Paul II. A distinction is made in the Directory between the spouse who has suffered divorce, and one who has requested and obtained a divorce as a consequence of their own morally incorrect behavior. The one who is responsible for the divorce has the obligation to repair evil, e riparare concretamente il male compiuto (section 212).
