An important decision

If you are referring to me, my wife and I divorced decades ago. But I now know that I’m still married to her in God’s eyes, so I cannot proceed in any other relationship while my (ex) wife is still living.

Oh sorry, Yes I was replying to you. Were you divorced before or after you had the procedure done (if you don’t mind me asking)?

After. But to us at the time it was just something normal to do.

A serious matter, yes, but Catholic definition of a mortal sin is that it has to be a serious matter that involves knowledge of how serious it is and full intention to do it anyway. Somebody who commits a mortal sin knows that it’s seriously wrong and does it anyway. It sounds like you didn’t know that it was seriously wrong.

A long time ago readers digest ran an article that found that if a woman could only get pregnant on purpose ( if it couldn’t happen be accident) half of us wouldn’t be here.
