Most priests would tell you that the communion issue is between you and God. On the other hand some would be sticklers for the letter of the Law. I like confession and find it in scripture, sorta, so I do the confession thing.

JST2,
Nope, Law was forced to make the revelations he did. He's not the scapegoat but the perpetrator of a horrible crime. While no evidence exists that would indicate that Law himself is a pedophile, he protected pedophile priests. I'm overjoyed by his resignation and hope that the DA slams him with RICO predicates.
DarkHorse,
I've spent all morning going over Canon Law and can find no validation of the priest's ascertation that by attempting marriage outside the faith you would have been imposed with Excommunication. In other words, the priest was making this sh*t up.
By attempting a civil marriage you would have been restricted from receiving communion and and the sacrament of reconciliation (confession). However, with the first divorce just a good confession was all that was needed to put you back in good standing with the church. To have married in the church with your husband you indeed would have needed an Annulment. This would have been a "simple declaration of nullity" with the grounds being "lack of form." This generally only takes a week to a month, and should be free...mine was. You could indeed have your marriage to your husband "convalidated" if you so desired. Even if they do charge a fee, this would be waivable. They wanted $250.00 to do my annulment, I gave them JACK.
What this money is used for is to help pay the expenses of the marriage Tribunal which generally has Canon Lawyers, Psychologists, etc.

OK, my Dad is about 13 in this story. He's long had a problem with trying to find excuses not to go to school. One January morning, while living in what by then was a boarding house, dad comes down with his school books and jacket and says, "Mom, there's a guy up in one of the rooms trying to kill Bessie [Bessie was one of the boarders]. Ma says, "Dam*it Richard, if you don't get yourself to school I'm gonna tan your hide." Dad keeps insisting and after several minutes (literally minutes) Ma, Pa, and Dad go upstairs together (but only after his sister confirms his story). Sure enough, in Bessie's room, Bessie's estranged husband has her on the ground, her head pushed back, slicing at her throat with a dull pocket knife. He'd been doing this since Dad came down stairs, so I'm talking a DULL knife. Pa and Dad corner the guy on the third floor room and he leapt out the window to escape Pa's crutch which had been applied upside his head about a half dozen times already.
Dad's twin, aunt Mary, gets a towel for Bessie's throat, which is by then gurgling. Ma makes Bessie wait on the front step for the ambulance, but had the good taste to wait outside with her. Turns out the reason the cuts weren't deadly was because, with her head thrust back the major veins and arteries were protected. The guy was never caught.
Ma said that ever since that day Dad kept his room locked, and kept something under the pillow, she didn't know what. Dad says he can't remember what it was, I think it was the pocket knife. He still had to go to school that day.

To the US Military
by freedom96 inthere have been many postings regarding the possible war with iraq.
there are many strong apposing views, as to be expected.. i personally am going to thank all those who are in the military; my hat is off to you, and i respect what you do, and i am very thankful.
you are the ones that must go out there and defend our freedoms.. i don't think most people desire war, but sometimes there seems to be little choice.

People use the term "propoganda" like it's a bad thing. Somehow propoganda has become associated with the term "lie." Propoganda can be, and often is, a simple statement of facts, or a logical conclusion drawn from the facts.
