Divorce/remarriage

What about divorce and remarriage? Quick review: Once a marriage occurs, it is presumed to be sacramental until shown otherwise. When a couple divorces, they are still considered married in the eyes of the Church. If one or both attempt to remarry without having an annulment (see last week’s article for more on this), they are possibly married to two people simultaneously. Because of this, they are to refrain from the reception of the Sacraments until they get their situation straightened.
