Some people were unable to worship though...
Here is an interesting series of articles on this topic.
To briefly summarise it, there are basically two Christian positions on the issue. Roman Catholic Church and some Protestants believe that marriage creates an unbreakable bond which means that remarriage after a divorce is adultery. The Catholic Church does give annulments for cases where they argue that the true bond was not formed.
The other point of view is that of Eastern Orthodox and many Protestants. It states that while the marital bond ought not to be severed by divorce, it can, in fact, be severed. Thus remarriage doesn't necessarily constitute adultery though the guilty party can be prohibited from remarrying as a punishment. The author argues for the 2nd position, I should say, quite convincingly.
What are your thoughts on the issue? Remarriage or not?
