As shelwood46 says, there is no "divorced". What God hath joined together, let no man set asunder, and all that shit. So if you are secularly divorced and remarried, in the eyes of the Church, you are still married to your ex.
Now, another bit of Catholicness from a non-Catholic (so I could be wrong): you are not supposed to take communion unless you have made confession. (hahahaha)
So. I've occasionally wondered: suppose you are secularly divorced, and secularly remarried (or just fucking somebody). But for some reason (maybe your partner was out of town on a business trip?), you haven't actually fucked anybody recently. And you go to confession, and what is there to confess? As far as the church is concerned, you are still married to your ex. And you haven't done anything that needs confessing.
now THAT is some mighty fine snark.

So chow down.
I''m quite sure that Timothy Cardinal Dolan would hate you, if he knew you. So you must be doing something right.
Strictly speaking, these are the papies.
Dolan is from St Louis, so that could be a clue.
