You mean the church has to accept sin as normal. I didn't see
Jesus doing that.

A divorced person is not a sinner, Leslie. Maybe they sinned in
the past but Jesus would have forgiven them, telling them to sin
no more. He came to save the sinners, He said as much:

The 'righteous' in that context are those who are respectable in
the eyes of the world.

You sin as a divorced person when you marry or shack up while
your previous partner is still alive.
You don't save sinners by allowing them to continue in their
sins. Repentance means you are sorry for your sins and have a
firm resolution in mind not to commit them again.

Of course they have to be sorry for their sins and not just
sorry they've been caught. I can't see anything wrong with
divorced people remarrying and having a new start even if their
ex spouse is still living. The chances are the ex will be doing
the same.

What I am writing about is Catholic teaching, and what you are
saying is not correct.
We just have to disagree here.

I realise you are approaching this topic from a traditional
Catholic perspective, Leslie, but you must know that not
everyone is a Catholic. On here they are not and a couple that
we know of, devout Christians, are divorced. You make your
pronouncements sound as though they are law, rather than saying,
"The Catholic Church teaches that...", or similar.
Not all Catholics are staunch Traditionalists. In the 'real
world' there are quite a few Catholics who are divorced,
remarried (& no, they didn't get an annulment, that's a
different scenario), and are in full communion with the Church.

The Pharisees saw Jesus as doing just that, Leslie. Jesus
stopped the people from stoning a woman caught prostituting
herself. The stoning was a legal practice for such a sin and
even seen as necessary in order to maintain the purity of
community. Jesus told her to "go and sin no more," but that
obviously was not considered a viable solution by law. They also
grumbled when he allowed the prostitute to anoint his feet with
oil and cleaned his feet with her own tears. Even some of the
disciples were concerned about how this looked, Jesus allowing
such a woman to even enter the premises.
I agreed with your earlier comment about Henry VIII breaking
from the Catholic Church so he could divorce his wife and marry
another. There's no Christlike justification for what he did.
You also raise a very interesting question about whether
Cromwell would have been allowed to colonize northern Ireland
had the monarchy still been aligned with the Catholic Church.
Very interesting! But, having said that, despite the Church of
England's beginnings, the COE itself--like any other protestant
version of Christianity--could still represent Christ crucified
and resurrected for the people, which ultimately is the most
important reason for Christianity to exist.

We don't get a lot of up to date Canadian news here but I
thought this might be of interest as Leslie has mentioned the
Public Service Workers strike more than once. I don't have an
opinion on it:

It is interesting that a settlement has been reached at the
table, but it must still meet the approval by vote of the
membership for the large group of PSAC workers.
The tax union has still to come to an agreement.Today is the
last day for the public to file their annual T1 tax returns.
I don't know the issues the tax union has at the table, but the
press has been saying last week that it is a question of layoffs
by seniority, as if there is something wrong with that. They
forget, or don't know that senior workers in private practice
are often laid off after many years service of doing the job
because management doesn't want to pay their high salaries,
often they have no pension. They are replaced by two younger
workers and they expect the laid off senior worker to train
them.
I have seen it happen. That is why any union fights for
seniority rights in its contract.
Another complaint from some in the media is that the public
sector is higher paid than the private sector. Then it is time
the rich private sector paid decent wages.
I was deterred from joining the public sector many years ago
because the private sector paid more. Now the tables are turned.

I have thought of a place where Trudeau could spread some good
will and cheer. It is 10,490 kms or 6,520 miles away from
Toronto. It has latitude 15.508 N, and longtitude 32.523 East .
I can guarantee you he would get a warm reception there.
