Subject: CG, divorce isn't the sin, re-marriage is. At least that's what I've been told I guess the presumption is, people don't divorce unless they're intending to remarry...eom...Mitch

Subject: Mitch, the way I understand it the church does not recognize divorce. Therefore, the only way around that is to get an annulment which states the marriage was never valid to begin with. Any Catholics out there know if that's correct? ~i&b

Subject: You're partially right ,, Mitch. Divorce isn't the thing, it's the remarrying or NOT being celibate that breaks the rule of the Church..................Kate

Subject: Also, I know where ecclesiastical annulments are given, they have no status in civil courts. Civil divorces are permitted by the Church to facilitate the dissolution of property...eom...Mitch

Subject: CG, from what I recall, Jackie-O never divorced Onassis. (The Arlington Cemetery website confirms this.) While it appeared that she and Onassis were separated, he up and died. So, I don't know what restriction the Catholic Church would have put on her taking Holy Communion. (Did she do something else?) And once she became a widow, the marriage would have been over. - eom JT

Subject: I really don't remember the circumstances and may remember it totally wrong. But I do remember some sort of hub-bub about someone receiving communion who wasn't ''elegible. eom CG
