The Greek Orthodox Church allows two divorces and three marriages. A spokesman for their district in San Francisco said that God isn’t interested in what people do in their bedrooms, regarding inviolability of the transmission of human life in each act of the marital embrace.

I would advise caution in attributing to one man—particularly a “spokesman for their district in [of all places] San Francisco” an authoritative statement of Orthodox belief or practice. Because they are decentralized, it is very difficult to ascertain “official” doctrine anymore.

These are the rules which support the “two divorces, three marriages” construct you mentioned, but it would be a very sad state of affairs if the (thereby not so) Orthodox believed that Almighty God has less than a passing interest in human sexuality.

Kyrie, eleison.
