Not as much as premarital sex, and porn is.

NO-FAULT divorce, yes. But not for legitimate reasons, which I would include to be actual physically dangerous spouses of both sexes. Or those that will not stop addictive gambling and alcohol and destroying the family that way.

As far as I can tell, there are only two legitimate reasons for divorce.

1. Fornication, which is any kind of sexual infidelity, including porn

2. Abandonment

However, I do not see any license to remarry after a divorce.

Of course, once it’s fait accomplis, then the sinner must repent (never do it again), and move on in confidence that God has forgiven the believer of all his transgressions.

The solution to these examples is already available in the Catholic Church, annulment. The divorce talk is only to create controversy and chip away at peoples faith. The Church has been around the block and has positions well thought out that are centuries old. Most the Catholics I know are not shopping for a new religion that sees thing their way. They accept the value in the rules and try to keep them.
