If they get divorced, he can’t take communion...that is tragic.

That's incorrect. Now, if he shacks up with another or gets married outside the RCC or w/o an annulment, then he should not receive the eucharist.

Whenever Catholics and divorce comes up, I can't help but defer to the Kennedy's. As far as I can tell, anything goes in today's Catholic dogma.

May depend on the parish. Maybe the indulgences bought with the tithe. Maybe the mob boss you know, I just can't tell anymore.

I shouldn't be so harsh, but I know she put up with crap for decades. His drinking and womanizing are legend and I can't feel sorry for him. He has had every advantage and still screwed it up. The church usually does whatever is necessary to keep everybody happy.
