You are not familiar with the one bite rule? The one bite rule is that your dog gets to bite someone once, and for that you are not liable for negligence because you were not put on notice that you dog was a biter. The second bite however does give rise to a cause of action for negligence.

So, I was just wondering, if Catholic theology allows one to divorce once, but not twice, on the theory that the first mistake is not negligence, but the second one is. After all, Rudy was elected as a divorced man.

No, his first wife was a second cousin. He got a very legitimate RCC Annulment after his civil divorce from wife number one. He then married, in a RCC ceremony wife number two. In spite of the civil divorce, that is still considered a VALID wedding contract and he is not free to contract again as long as Donna (wife number two) is alive, unless of course, he can get another annulment. Therefore, if he is still married to wife number two in the eyes of the Church, he is living in sin in a public and disgraceful fashion with the women he calls he current wife.
