My brother married a Catholic woman many years ago. One of her sisters married a divorced guy, so her family cut her off, wouldn't talk to her, what hooer, etc.

Then the divorced guy's first wife died, and the family welcomed both her and him back, now that their marriage was legitimate. Even more amazingly, the divorced guy and his wife said, "Great, thanks, happy to be here, your hypocrisy doesn't bother us at all."

This is one of the Holy Mysteries associated with Jebus.
