By addressing only the technicalities of the translation you are avoiding the fact even the translation you prefer supports the Catholic understanding of what our Lord taught.

Mat 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Ya right...

Yes, right. If our Lord had intended infidelity he would have called it adultery, not fornication. If this were truly an exception then everything that he said before it would not make any sense; his response to the question would have simply be “only in the case of adultery.” Additionally, Luke has no such “exception”. The truth is that it is those who support divorce are the ones who are not following Scripture.
