It can’t be too secretive...I get daily messages and ponderings from Opus Dei in my email.

She can return to the Catholic faith if she wants to, but because she is divorced, she cannot be given Absolution or take part in any Sacraments without approval from the Church.

A friend of mine wanted to go back to the Church and she was divorced and remarried and was told it would take her years to get approval from the Bishop and because her current husband is not a Catholic, she may not get approval anyway...

It’s not the divorce that is the problem, it is the remarriage.

Two different issues here. Divorce does not keep you from the sacraments.

Divorce and remarriage (outside the church and with no annulment) will.
