We are but certian doom has his own agenda and likes to get it in where ever he can... typical of small minded people.

The Bible does not preach against divorce, but adultery. Re-marriage after divorce is considered adultery. This area has become greatly confused over the years. Christ recognized that not all marriages are salvagable, so divorce was okay. But, since your vowed before God to stay with the person you married, divorce does not justify dating again or re-marriage.

This is why the Catholic Church has been playing footloose and fancy-free with annulments these days (IMHO the indulgences of the 21st/22nd centuries). My uncle of 25+ years left my aunt for another woman, then got his marriage annuled on the grounds that my aunt never converted to Catholicism. For the Catholic Church to grant an annulment on those grounds is truly an abomination, no matter that it is trying to allow people to continue to receive communion ("what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.").
