Aliska-ping to 881. The article goes into minute detail about the validity of Catholic marriages.
You know what always bugged me was that Jodi was divorced from her first husband. Did she get that marriage annulled? You have to get one to remarry in the Church. I talked with my cousin about getting one, and she told me what a pain in the neck it was. Why bother. Why didn't they just marry in the Lutheran Church? Why did it have to be Catholic?
Yes, that is quite a read. Looks to me like it is as clear as things get, that Mikey and Jodi's attempt at the Holy Sacrament of Marriage, is patently illicit in the eyes of the Church, if not in the eyes of his supporter, Bp. Lynch and the Lynch mob. But that would have no effect on the civil ceremony, just don't see it as in any way licit and Catholic.
Bp. Lynch's behavior in this event is not very Catholic either.
