No, you are still married before God to your spouse.

Divorce does not mean you are freed from your vow to God. You are still culpable for your actions to keep your word even if your spouse broke theirs.

I'm sorry. It is adultery for one to marry someone who was married. Shall I give the verses?

"Divorce does not mean you are freed from your vow to God."

I've seen the verses. Not applicable when the other spouse breaks the vow. There is no vow left to honor. "Till death do us part" is already impossible because you are already parted. God does not ask the undoable.

I recognize that it is an irreconcilable difference of interpretation between Roman Catholics (which I was) and many Protestants. It doesn't lessen my respect and admiration for my Catholic friends who so believe, though I don't share the belief. If anything, I take issue with the fallacy (IMO) of the workaround of annullment. Annullments are given to those married for years, even with children, as though the marriage never happened. And I'm not just talking Kennedys here. I find that a bigger affront to the Creator than remarrying after being dumped by a spouse. But again, a difference of opinion.
