Divorce + Mathematics + Catechism = NULL

Permit me to present a mathematical formula, of sorts, via the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) [All Bold/highlighting within CCC by me]:

IF: CCC #2382 teaches:

AND: CCC #2384 teaches: 

AND: CCC #2385 teaches:

AND: CCC #1790 teaches:

AND: CCC #1791 teaches:

AND: CCC #1792 teaches:

THEN: How can CCC#2383 (thesis part b.) teach that:
If civil divorce remains the only possible way of ensuring certain legal rights, the care of the children, or the protection of inheritance, it can be tolerated (????) and does not constitute a moral offense.

Now, I admit to getting a "D" in Algebra in High School, to foregoing my college academics to pursue the vocational, and to not having studied moral theology, but the above math simply does not compute when it violates so much of the Moral and Divine Law.

Our spouses have no justification for their actions and no such validity can be found, whether it be in Church Teaching, Religious Instruction or Biblical pronouncements. No matter what, why or how they or Holy Mother Church try to make all what they do good and holy, divorce still reeks of sulfur and remains anti-Catholic and anti-Sacramental Marriage. Divorce destroys and decimates the innocent spouse, the children's future and the family and preserves nothing but the pride and selfishness of one or both spouses. 

Divorce is evil and will always be so.
