Re: thread again, there’s plenty to talk about divorce and remarriage and validity of remarriage, and whether second marriages are valid, or if they ever can be.

I think that we can both agree, at least, that the cultural view of marriage currently is really bad. And divorce, if you’ll pardon the crudity, sucks. No question that marriages should be life-long, or in the case of the marriage of the Lamb—which all marriage SHOULD be a reflection of—forever.

The question being what to do when sin interferes, as it always does.

In the case of this particular Cardinal... I suppose my thoughts on the matter depend on his reasons. Does he just want to be popular and liberal? Or does he support his reasoning with Scripture and plain reason?

Even if I believe that remarriage is still marriage and (in at least some cases) a sin that can and should be forgiven if repented of, the gentleman could well be right for the wrong reasons. Or wrong for the right reasons if you take the other side.
