\r\nWith divorce, if they do it mutually where neither one commits aldultery than it is wrong according to the church. But if one spouse(your fathers wife) commits adultery. Than through the churches eyes its ok to get a divorce. Your father did nothing wrong and his wife did not honer the vows by commiting adultery. In return he is still able to recieve communion, but she is not.
\r\n-Now on a different note i\'m not sure if his wife can repent for what she did and than one day take communion.
\r\n
\r\nAs far as the sexual orientation. I don\'t believe in it. I think its wrong. Why would anyone want to be with someone of the same gender. But thats to each their own. I think it says somewhere that an individual can be that way. That\'s fine. It\'s just wrong when they act on it. I think thats how it goes but i\'m not sure.

\r\nHope that clears things up.\r\n
