In the eyes of Melania, because she is a Catholic, Donald has never been married to anyone.

In the eyes of the Catholic Church—i.e., in reality—he has never been married, because he has had a pre-nup before each wedding. A pre-nup invalidates a marriage.

Therefore, in reality, he is free to marry Melania as soon as he tears up the pre-nup.

At that point, Melania, who is a Catholic, will be validly married in the the Catholic Church.

Roman Catholic canon-law == NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH the ways of God.

If what you say were to be true --- that would leave Melania "living in sin" (and Donald Trump being "in sin" due to his on-going relationship with Melania).

According to what you wrote, Arthur, they are both outlaws.

Will "Mary" and the Rosary save her, save Melania? Did the chosen apostles lay hands on Mary, and give/convey to her power and authority to forgive sins?

Or, is it more like the Roman Catholic way of looking at and talking about forgiveness of sins can be twisted-up & highly misleading? I'd say both of the latter. If a toe (or a thumb) offends me -- cut it off.

Everyone that does the will of God, those are Christ's brothers, sisters, and mother -- according to Scripture. Still, Jesus did not instruct anyone to pray to them.

The so-called eyes of the Catholic Church -- NOT TO BE CONFUSED with actual all-encompassing reality, nor to be confused being the eyes of God.

The words of the Roman Catholic Church are not to be confused with, not to be taken as being Word of God, not unless one is willing to accept hireling, stand-in replacement(s) who declare themselves be intrinsically required intercessors.

Sorry, Charlie. The Lord Himself does not require your assistance (or your mere opinion) even if, according to His own purposes, He may make use of yourself, and your mere opinions wheresoever it suits His own Holy purpose.

But go ahead, talk about what the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church are like, all you want. Knock_yourself_out.

In the eyes of the law, he is a thrice-married man. I don't know how he gets around that one. I'm a Catholic too, married to a divorced Catholic, and he has not had an annulment and we weren't married in the Church because of that.
