Too bad. You brought your mother into this and misstated the reason the Church refuses some divorced people remarriage. If a divorced person’s ex-spouse dies, they can remarry - ditto if they can show canonically how the prior marriage was a nullity. Otherwise, in the eyes of the Church, they are STILL MARRIED. A subsequent marriage would be bigamous and adulterous.

BTW, your gratuitous insults to my Catholic faith are real and ugly. I made no such insult to your mother. You took the facts as insults. That is a modern liberal response, like much of your odd screeds.

Hmm, my mother had been previously divorced from my father, and he had been DEAD for 8 years already when she decided to remarry.

And for a church that stresses “forgiveness of sin” as one of it’s cornerstones, why this one could not be forgiven is beyond me (don’t not quote chruch doctrine on the subject, I know it already, and it is stupid — it’s only purpose is to enforce superstition and bestow upon the church a power it’s more than willing to use as a club on people emotionally, and for it’s own benefit).

I have not “misstated” anything.
