“Why does you religion allow divorce and remarriage?”
Because it is a fallen world, a bishop, by economia, may allow both an ecclesiastical divorce and remarriage. Christ made an exception too, remember? The Church believes that it is empowered to grant economia as an expression of compassion in this fallen world. Even +John Chrysostomos said “...better to break the covenant than to lose ones soul.

If it's a fallen world, why not permit homo marriages, along with divorce and remarrige? BTW when did the "orthodox" allow such divorce and subsequent adultery? It seems like you can accept you own bishop's ruling on your marriage, What happens when a different orthodox bishop rules otherwise? Who is you leader, Putin?
