915 is based on bad proof texting. Like I said, AL is not introducing practice, it is only making it more uniform. My roommate was from Bangladesh, his wife was Muslim, not sure who if any were married before and we were living in DC. I assure the Archdiocese is and was not in schism in the 1980s. My in-laws are Knoxville. Not in schism although their bishop had some abuse issues, personally. John Paul was pope then. I am reporting the reality, not pontificating how it should be but how it was and is on the ground in most of the world. By the way, Orthodoxy, who we are in Schism from over claims of imperial supremacy and the Filioque (doctrinal reasons are always cited for politial separations) lets people have a second marriage with no annulment and they are the older and more orthodox church. Rome was a residual patriarchy and a backwater when Constantine created the Imperial See.
