Unless they don’t go to the bathroom?

And why even bother getting a civil divorce and having to deal with the church stuff about not taking communion when they could simply get a church endorsed divorce ..... er ah..... annulment instead?

Interesting thing is, Catholics claim that partaking of the eucharist gives you the life of Christ and is necessary for salvation, and yet deliberately excludes people from partaking, thus damning them to hell for getting remarried after a divorce.

If they're not going to have sex, then what's the purpose of even being married?

Where does the Catholic Church teach that it is virtuous or appropriate to follow perpetual continence in marriage (because that is what this is implying)?

In fact, it appears that this is CONTRARY to the Catholic Faith:

Per Pius XI in Casti Connubii, 1930 (BEFORE VATICAN II):

"By conjugal faith it is provided that there should be no carnal intercourse outside the marriage bond with another man or woman; with regard to offspring, that children should be begotten of love, tenderly cared for and educated in a religious atmosphere; finally, in its sacramental aspect that the marriage bond should not be broken and that a husband or wife, if separated, should not be joined to another even for the sake of offspring. This we regard as the law of marriage by which the fruitfulness of nature is adorned and the evil of incontinence is restrained."
