The second-highest position in the Holy Order is that of an Ordained Priest (also known as Father). His main responsibilities are to serve, perform sacraments, and provide spiritual direction. The priest’s primary responsibility is to proclaim the faith via word and deed.
The priest goes through a rigorous process of self-discovery, screening, and education before ordination. He must satisfy several conditions outlined by the Church.
A man who has had a civil divorce is ineligible for the priesthood, according to the Code of Canon Law and various passages in the Bible.
Both the church and the Bible are against divorce. 1st Corinthians 7:10-1
Can a divorcee become a Pope or priest in the Catholic church?
Man and woman sign a holy bond when they get married. The Catholic Church holds that marriage is a holy union that cannot be broken by any human authority.
Of course, you are free to use the legal system to obtain a civil divorce notwithstanding Catholic Church regulations.
The man’s divorce will not be accepted by the church, and he will still be regarded as married. Additionally, a divorced man cannot be ordained because the Catholic Church (with some exceptions) forbids married men from becoming priests.
There is, however, a workaround. The Catholic Church offers a marriage annulment procedure that enables separation and effectively renders the marriage null and void.
