There are MANY authoritative Church leaders who have talked at length about the exceptions involved. They can talk all they want, but at the end of the day, the only official, authoritive teaching is that of the Magisterium.

"By the Magisterium we mean the teaching office of the Church. It consists of the Pope and Bishops. Christ promised to protect the teaching of the Church : "He who hears you, hears me; he who rejects your rejects me, he who rejects me, rejects Him who sent me" (Luke 10. 16)."

Yes, and MANY BISHOPS agree with what I have posted.

In fact, those who believe that their Marriage is INVALID and have made that decision in the “Private Forum” are even ENCOURAGED to make that fact known, if later in life an actual Annulment process, through a Tribunal in the External Forum, takes place.

In other words? The CHURCH and CHURCH AUTHORITY take “Internal Forum” and “Conscience” decisions into account.

What do you say about that, you judgmental know it all?

I suggest that you wait to condemn anyone until YOU become a Bishop or a Cardinal.

You do NOT know what you are talking about. You do NOT known how to interpret these issues at all.
