The participants in the marriage are also obligated to presume validity, which thus bars them from rationalizing away certain behaviours. To suggest the participants themselves could form a contrary view, and act upon it,would seem to dismantle the permanence of marriage entirely.

One does wonders why marriage tribunals exist. :rolleyes:
 
Father Regis Scanlon, O.F.M. CAP poses the following questions:

"The first question is to those in favor of giving communion to “some” of the divorced and civilly remarried in special circumstances: Why the great concern over a small subset of divorced and remarried Catholics who are not able to receive communion licitly, when bishops everywhere are allowing virtually anyone to come to communion anyway?

"The second question goes to the conservatives who disapprove of giving communion to “some” divorced and civilly remarried under specified conditions: Why quarrel over permitting a few divorced and civilly remarried couples from receiving communion in certain situations, and at the same time ignore the countless numbers of people who are offending Our Lord through sacrilegious communions?

“And both sides had this in common: Neither side spoke up to discuss Canons 915 and 916! As far as I can determine, there is not one mention of either canon in the entire final document of the Synod.” Source
 
Check out this article. It regards the issue of Communion for the divorced and remarried. It is written by four people:
We write as members of the so-called divorce generation: children who were born and grew up as divorce laws were liberalized, making divorce more socially acceptable. Each of us has been personally touched by divorce, with parents who themselves have divorced and/or are now living in irregular unions. We are part of a generation of walking wounded.
