If Catholicism doesn’t accept divorce, how come the church welcomed Nicole Kidman’s 2nd marriage willingly?

Cuz the first was not in the Church. Catholic I mean.
It was in the Scientology temple whatever they call it, and in the courthouse. The Catholic Church do not care for these, so it is as if she was single.
Now, about the sex before marriage, she got away good
PS: Plebiscites means the laws or amendments that go to public vote.
I guess it pays to be a celebrity. Unfortunately.
Any publicity is better than none,
I think I read she was having the first one annulled by the church
Also, the Christian faith teaches unconditional forgiveness. With the fact that her 2nd marriage was in the church, and with another Catholic, it was forgive and accepted.
a plebiscite is a where an question to be answered is put to the electorate, you mean plebians.
She is getting it annulled because Cruisin’ Tom was too gay to consumate her first one
It’s not true that Catholicism doesn’t accept divorce. They just believe you must get an annulment along with it.
They (Tom and Nicole) got married at a church of scientology. The Catholic church does not recognize that union as a previous marriage. Please see the below link for further details.
She wasn’t married in Church with the first one so according to the Catholic Church you are not married in the eyes of God. The first marriage was never blessed.
Nicole wasn’t married in the Catholic Church when she married Tom Cruise. Therefore, the rules didn’t apply to her first marriage and she was free to marry Keith in the Roman Catholic faith.
Roman Catholics on Divorce:
Roman Catholics believe that marriage is a sacrament. Once the couple has received the sacrament of marriage, the marriage can never be dissolved or ended in God’s eyes. If a Roman Catholic got a civil divorce, the couple would still be married in the church’s eyes. A divorced Roman Catholic cannot get remarried whilst their ex-husband or wife is alive. Catholics believe humans simply do not have the authority to divide what God has joined together.
A divorced Catholic is not encouraged to partake in other sacraments (like communion). A Catholic who does remarry in a registry office or in the church of another denomination whilst their first spouse is still alive, is not allowed to take communion, as they are committing adultery, because in God’s eyes they are still married to their first spouse.
Under certain circumstances, Roman Catholics can get an annulment of their marriage, from the Roman Catholic church. An annulment means the marriage was never a real marriage.
Annulments can be granted if:
(i) one or both of the partners didn’t understand the wedding vows, or were forced into marriage
(ii) one or both partners lied during the vows (for instance, if they never intended to have children)
(iii) the marriage was never consummated – the couple never had sexual intercourse after the wedding.
If the church grants an annulment, the couple are free to get married again in church, although they would still have to get a legal divorce.
Although it is true that the Catholic Church does not accept divorce(because Our Lord Jesus Said getting divorced & getting remarried is the same as committing adultery), it does, however, recognize annulments, which means basically, that due to some flaw, the marriage never officially took place.
Since Nicole Kidman’s first marriage took place in the Scientology religion, her first marriage would not have been recognized by the Catholic Church, as marriage is a Sacrament of the Catholic Church, it only recognizes Catholic marriage ceremonies.
