He doesn't approve of "Elitist!" Christians calling other people idiots. One would have to JUDGE a person; using approved standards; to be an idiot; and we ALL know what he's said about judging!

It is pointless spend hours defending Pope Francis who lacks diplomacy and public relations skills. He should post on FR then; and not just Twitter©.

Donate flowers to altars of Mary and trust she will ask her Son for much needed fortifications.I'm sure this will work.
There is SO much documentation to prove it.

Around a year or so ago, I sat and talked with Catholic wives whose husbands cheated, left them, divorced them, and in many cases are now living with (or married to) other women. Yet, these wives were told they wouldnt qualify for annulment. So, theyre still considered married to these men by the Church, and they cannot move on with their own lives. Them darned ol' MORMON sealing ceremonies...

I’ve read; somewhere; that a certain fella once told a woman that she’d had five husbands and the one she had now was not legitimate.
The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ? Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

My wife and I were married at 19. We’ve been happily married for 26 years but one now has to wonder whether we were every married at all...

Actually, this is the only case where divorce is allowed: adultery

How does the Catholic church handle the following situation:
An atheist marries another atheist. They have 4 children. The husband converts to become Catholic and the wife divorces him for being a “Jesus freak.”
How would the Catholic church handle such a situation if the man would like to remarry a nice Catholic lady?

Thats funny.
This weekend we went to one of the small town fairs here in western MA. Not quite the berkshires, but one of the hilltowns. There was a family that was showing their goats. The two momma goats had just had their kids the week before. All of the babies were in a dog box while the moms were in the ring.
They were falling all over each other. They were the cutest things. I told my wife I wanted a goat.
That was brought up during the annulment discussion.
(I am not kidding about that, but the annulment discussion was all in jest. Although I did see a call to the diocese on the “recent calls” list.)

I never said they were and I am not sure how you got that idea.

That was the problem. The pope at the time was solidly in Spain's pocket and they wanted Katherine to remain Queen of England. The maneuvers they went through to get her married to Arthur then Henry were almost unbelievable.
Now days if they had movie where a king named his daughter as an Ambassador just so she could stay and put pressure on a adolescent prince to marry her the howls would echo from New York to Hollywood.
Yet that was exactly what did happen.
Any other time Henry would have gotten his annulment and England would have remained in Rome's sphere.

At that meeting, the ex-wives were told they’re not entitled to an annulment unless they can show that their husbands never intended to keep their vows in the first place (hence, the marriage never existed). Most of these women were middle-aged and older, and their long marriages had produced children.
IOW, as long as someone intended to keep his vows when he first made them, his wife isn’t entitled to an annulment “just because” he cheated many years later. (Or vice-versa, if the women cheated.)
For example, one woman was in her 60’s, and she said her pastor told her that, because the marriage had lasted so long, it would never qualify for an annulment. She even was criticized for not forgiving her husband and for filing for divorce after she found out he cheated.
So, maybe the pope is addressing that issue with these changes.
