The rightly-named Orthodox Churches do not hold that one can be in two marriages at the same time.

Then there are only two other possible explanations for their practice of allowing second marriages while the first spouse is still alive:

1. They believe that under certain circumstances it's permissible to commit adultery; or
2. They believe that somehow the first marriage ended before one of the spouses died.

Neither of these beliefs is "orthodox" (with a lower case "o").

Third possibility, that one of the spouses was insincere about their vows and thus turned the marriage into a legal fiction.

100% Orthodox!

But I do have to note that so many of the recent changes we’ve seen in the Roman Catholic Church has moved them closer to the Orthodox position.

Now if the Pope will just stay away from the “Liberation Theology” sinkhole.
