The root of the problem is the very poor leadership of the local bishops and their instructions to the parish level priests as to what is truly relevant to the weekly sermon and religious instruction. Couple that with the abandonment of the Catholic Schools by many of the diocese and we leave exposed more and more Catholic souls to the spiritual death that is the secular schools and their societal teachings.
It is difficult to combat hours of highly secular and sinful teachings a week in a single hour every Sunday. That is IF the ‘Catholic’ actually bothers to show up every Sunday. We already KNOW that fewer than forty percent actually do.
This is NOT a problem with the ordinary Catholic it is the direct result and problem caused by the terrible leadership and almost every level of the Church hierarchy.
Simply put: Actions and decisions have consequences. To get remarried after a divorce that is not subject to annulment is to live in a state of sin. It is committing fornication. It is no less a mortal sin than homosexual sex or bestiality. They are all sins of the flesh. All cut a person off from God’s grace and expose them to the terrible truth of an eternity in Hell without the benefit of being in the presence of God.
“The road to hell is paved with the skulls of erring priests, with bishops as their signposts.” St. John Chrysostom
“The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.” St. Athanasius, Council of Nicaea, AD 325
“It must be observed, however, that if the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly.” St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II, II
Go be a Lutheran then, dumbkopf.
My sister married into a Catholic family. It was a miserable marriage as her husband slipped into alcoholism. Then he developed delusions and started writing letters to President Carter rudely instructing him in how to deal with Iran. (I actually wanted to do that myself, but didn’t.)
She divorced him. If you ever had any doubts that divorce can be necessary and isn’t always because people just don’t try, this should put them to rest. There was no way she could have helped him. (Her father-in-law had his son committed.)
I don’t see anything wrong with your post.
We have to pray for the clergy.
...till death do us part...
I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you...
...till death do us part...
Praise Allah.

People that remarry are no more sinners than you are or anyone else. We are all sinners. All sins are "mortal sins" except through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Church already has a process for that, Bishop. It’s called anullment.
Jesus Christ himself gave clear teaching on marriage and remarriage in Matthew 19. If that isn’t good enough, the German Cardinal will get to explain himself to God on judgment day. Good luck with that.
Why not get rid of all those pesky commandments too..they are so restrictive to a progressive society?!
No
