text: St Paul did not override Christ, St Paul was dealing with gentiles in marriages which were 'natural', not 'joined together by God', and unless one of the spouses refused to live with the spouse who had converted there would be no divorce allowed.  The Church's teaching on this is quite clear.
  Jesus made an exception for 'pornos' but did not say that remarriage was possible. In fact, He said, any woman who marries a divorced man and any man who marries a divorced woman both commit adultery.
  Why would a Catholic priest draw their attention to what the Orthodox or Protestant practices were? This couple is Catholic.
