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 wouldn’t qualify for annulment. So, they’re still considered married to these men by the Church, and they cannot move on with their own lives.
Those are the kinds of situations that maybe the pope is trying to address.
Them darned ol' MORMON sealing ceremonies...
Actually, this is the only case where divorce is allowed: adultery
