    • Goofs
      O'Neill goes to visit a Cardinal of the Catholic Church in Washington D.C. seeking to separate from his wife, Maria. However he says he wants his wife to still be able to receive Holy Communion once they are divorced, to which the Cardinal says she would not be able to do so. But that is not correct. In Canon Law, divorce is entirely a secular legal precedent, a couple may divorce and still receive communion. But if one or both of the parties were to re-marry, then they would not be able to receive communion.
