ugh...this is so...disappointing... first I was slammed by things that contradicts with what I have learnt and thought I knew...then to find out the Church is so divided and I cannot trust anything... and now this part about my past marriage...
Yes, unfortunately, things are a mess since Vatican II, and you're not alone in struggling with it. Standards that the Church had in place for millennia were suddenly thrown out the window. It can be difficult to navigate, but pray the Rosary faithfully, ask Our Lady for help in discerning God's will, and you'll invariably get to where you need to be. This is precisely why some of us are Traditional Catholics. Nefarious groups have been (by their own admission) attempting to infiltrate the Church for centuries, and by 1958 they finally succeeded at the top. This is why Our Lady left the Third Secret and why Sister Lucia stated that its meaning would be "clearer" when nearing 1960. This is a great apostasy, a falling away, that was predicted even in Sacred Scripture before the final arrival of the "Man of Sin". Cardinal Ciappi, who read the secret, stated that it was about an apostasy that would "begin at the top". This was all foretold for the sake of the elect, so that they wouldn't falter and lose faith in the Church, and God allowed it as a necessary sifting. Just stay devoted to Our Lady's Rosary, which she said would be the last remedy available to mankind, and she'll take care of you and guide you.
