I thought B-Chan made a valid point. Could either of you explain why you disagree with him?

Remarriage after divorce is what I'm pointing out. My first wife and I were married in The Church. After 10 years of marriage, she fooled around at work and walked. Our son was four at the time. She filed for divorce. I tried to hold the marriage together, but she wanted out.

So where did that leave me with the Church? Basically, hung out to dry unless I sought an annulment. Well, why the hell should I have to jump through hoops because the Vatican wants some documentation? I did nothing wrong, but just as in civil law, it's hassle, time and money coming out of me. No thanks.

I remarried outside the Church a few years ago. I have no regrets.
