Dear 1stFreedom,
I understand what you're saying, but respectfully disagree. I'm sure Hermann can cite the specific document, the specific pontiff, I can't. I only remember reading the document, posted by a respected, conservative Catholic priest.

I think it's wishful thinking on the part of the priest. The church does not grant divorces, and does not recognized civil divorces in terms of the sacrament.
For an exhaustive Catholic understanding of this, read this (from New Advent, the Catholic Encyclopedia).
