That’s right. If you are forced into a divorce, you can discuss it with a priest and make a confession if needed, and then you are in the same position as you were before, as long as you don’t remarry. If you want to remarry some time in the future and your ex-wife is still living, then you need to get an annulment before you can receive communion, unless you and your new wife agree to live chastely. Even then, if you slip up without previous intent, you can confess your sin. But true confession requires that you INTEND to do as promised.

Where in Scripture is the "annulment" provision?

Living chastely doesn't constitute a marriage??

It's only a marriage if they have sexual relations?

What if someone looks upon someone else with lust? Adultery?

Even then, if you slip up without previous intent, you can confess your sin. But true confession requires that you INTEND to do as promised.
