Don't lose hope. It's only another trial. All is worth it for an eternity with the infinite God. I have to say, I'm baffled by this recent development. Something just doesn't seem right. Surely there's some resolution in this current crisis in the church. Perhaps some sort of supplied jurisdiction for the case of this marriage to be judged if the authority of the apostates in Rome can't be trusted.

in confusion, while having to deal with their own afflictions in their daily lives. This whole thing opened a whole new can of worms, so yes something is definitely not right here, unfortunately.

This topic is really very nuanced and difficult to navigate. The theology, culture, and mentalities of Byzantine Catholics -- Ruthenians especially come to mind -- is nearly identical to their schismatic Orthodox counterparts, and will sometimes identify as Orthodox in communion with the Papacy. The treaties of Brest and Uzghorod by which several Orthodox Churches entered into communion with the Papacy guaranteed their Orthodox identity, whilst the eastern Churches would acknowledge the primacy of the Bishop of Rome and refrain from accusing the Latin Church of heresy for sundry reasons (filioque, use of unleavened bread, purgatory and indulgences, clean-shaven clergy, etc.). Also, whilst the Byzantine Catholics do not practice the divorce policies of the schismatics and accept (or at least tolerate) the recent Marian dogmas, Latins need to be careful in what they condemn or attack in the Orthodox because it can often be an equal attack on the Byzantine Catholics.
