No,  it wouldn't be simpler.  This particular issue of divorce and remarriage could rebound as disastrously for the credibility of magisterial teaching authority as did Humanae Vitae.  One of the reasons for this potential in the US is that the USCCB said nothing about Donald Trump's serial monogamy or attitude towards sexual exploitation of women.  That Cardinal Burke could openly support Trump while blasting Francis over mercy towards the divorced would be funny if it weren't so infuriating.
