i will add something nethertheless (hoping it is not childish, nor insulting to anyone)
a couple of days ago a partial solving has been found for the divorcied-remarried in the church.
this solving was signed cardinal Josef Ratzinger (not yet Benedictus XVI when it was signed). it is really imperfect (because there are many cases which still are out), true, but it is more or less an advance in this matter anyway.
I'm absolutely sure that this is a misinformation. There was a rumor that originated from an italian newspaper, that Card. Ratzinger was working on a paper regarding remarried people, which was not finished, but I'm also almost sure that this was a false information also. Newspaper just like printing news without checking the facts first. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Here is what Cardinal Ratzinger himself wrote on remarried couples some time ago, and I really don't think his first act as a pope would be comitting credibility harakiri.
In fidelity to the words of Jesus Christ(5), the Church affirms that a new union cannot be recognised as valid if the preceding marriage was valid. If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God's law. Consequently, they cannot receive Holy Communion as long as this situation persists(6).[...]
At the same time [the Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio] confirms and indicates the reasons for the constant and universal practice, "founded on Sacred Scripture, of not admitting the divorced and remarried to Holy Communion"(9). The structure of the Exhortation and the tenor of its words give clearly to understand that this practice, which is presented as binding, cannot be modified because of different situations.
