It was interesting reading the responses on that thread. Someone suggested that one or the other of the parties in question might have had an impediment to a Catholic marriage, such as a previous marriage that had not been annulled. If true, that would explain a lot. It was unclear whether or not the diocese had given her an opportunity to make her marriage licit. I would hope so.
True to form for today's journalism, there are certainly more questions than answers after reading that article.
