Your own church can declare your marriage is null after you divorce! So, you CAN be no longer married.

And; every once in a while; if it REALLY feels like it; the OTC can EXcommunicate one of it's members.

Yet they STILL are considered by some Catholics to STILL be a CAtholic?

HMMMmmm...

Nope, if a marriage is annulled, it never took place from the beginning. If the church excommunicates someone, they are no longer Catholic, it doesn't matter whether or not other Catholics believe it or not.
