As far as the other two go, I have NO problem with either of those two issues but it seems that if one is going to be a representative of a particular faith, you probably ought to support and defend the main tenets of it.

That's the point.

As for divorce, Our Lord was pretty clear on the subject. The Church's position is actually not so much against divorce, but against divorce and remarriage.

Of course, as a non-Catholic, that wouldn't be your concern directly.

“As for divorce, Our Lord was pretty clear on the subject. The Church’s position is actually not so much against divorce, but against divorce and remarriage.”

So let me get this straight; if a Catholic was married and his/her spouse became a serial adulterer, an addict and abusive towards the fammily (my first wife) and refused to change, a divorce could be acceptable to your church BUT, the non-offending spouse is punished by never being allowed to remarry?

It smacks of muslims punishing the victim of a rape for the crime of adultery.
