A few thoughts on the replies: Many are attacking the messenger rather than engaging the doctrine. That's understandable—it's easier than wrestling with what the Church actually teaches. CCC 1650 and 2384 aren't my opinions or even the Church's invention. They're the Church's articulation of what Jesus Himself taught on the indissolubility of marriage (Mt 19:6, Mk 10:9, Lk 16:18). If that teaching is wrong, then argue against the teachings—and against Christ—not against me for citing it. Some say "mind your business." But when high-profile Catholics publicly celebrate a union that directly contradicts Christ's teaching on marriage, they've made it public business. Silence isn't neutrality; it's complicity in obscuring what our Lord taught. For the few Catholics who correctly understand the teaching, thanks for your witness here. Sadly you are too few and far between. Others point out (fairly) that the Church is inconsistent—allowing pro-abortion Catholics Communion while enforcing marriage doctrine strictly. And you are correct, albeit it changes nothing about this discussion. Selective enforcement of doctrine is a scandal that weakens witness. That's a separate problem, but it doesn't change what the doctrine on marriage. One response revealed a catastrophic misunderstanding: "Confession makes everything hunky dory." No. Confession requires contrition and amendment of life. It's not a moral reset button that erases the need to obey Christ's teaching on marriage. To those upset by this post: I don't post for clicks. Every Catholic thing I share is hopefully in some way about the salvation of souls—because if we aren't living for that, we aren't living our Catholic faith. That's not my invention; it's the constant teaching of Christ throughout the Gospels. When Catholics treat Christ's doctrine on marriage as optional, souls are in jeopardy of being lost. That's not judgment. That's love. That's why I posted, and why I won't be silent. The teaching stands. The question is whether Catholics will live it, and/or, take the time to learn what (or why) Jesus actually taught what He did. We are blessed as Catholics to never have to "guess" what Jesus taught. Catholicism is a revealed faith -- and the fullness of it (not watered down to fit our lifestyle), is the Catholic Church. I pray all of you, sooner or later, and hopefully before it's too late, come to know and understand the Catholic Faith ,after your life and Catholic Baptism, as your greatest gift and and easiest path to the salvation of your souls.

I'll always be eternally grateful to St. John Paul II. One thing — I truly believed his intercession (too long to explain why here), held back a chastisement at a time in my life when I was mired in sin. For where I was at the start of my reversion, he was a gift from heaven for all that he taught me.

Good reading today for self-examination.
