On the other hand this is not a new teaching. If you marry divorce and then remarry you are not allowed the Eucharist. No true Catholic can deny knowing this teaching. It's really not that hard. On the other hand if you can out live your ex, you can be allowed back in. ;)
Do you think that if your spouse commits adultery that that is grounds for an annulment and later remarriage?
No and neither does the Church.
I agree too, but only learned that much later.
And my point is: how many Catholics, who completed pre-Cana and CCD in the last 40 years, actually understand that doctrine, that you can never remarry if your spouse cheats on you, before entering into a Catholic Marriage? How many today understand this and other doctrines on the gravity of Marriage? If not, is it their fault completely, or has the Church, all us, let them down?
