Dear wallcrawlr,
For those validly, sacramentally married, the Church does not recognize divorce, as Her Lord did not recognize it.
Those that cause divorce generally sin. The party who is divorced unwillingly doesn't sin by being divorced. However, should the innocent party remarry (assuming no declaration of nullity of the sacramental nature of the marriage has been obtained), then the innocent party is an adulterer.

The Vatican singled out divorcees who remarry and Catholic politicians who support abortion on Thursday in criticizing those who continue to receive Holy Communion while in a state of mortal sin.
I need to remember that they are simply talking about divorcees that remarry without seeking anullment. Ok.
I can see how that technicality now relates to the statement.
