...Deus Dux. One way out of the dilemma would be for Ralph and his wife to separate or seek the church's permission to live together platonically. (Since the church does not recognize his remarriage, conjugal relations between them are considered adulterous.) Another way would be for Ralph to try to get his first marriage annulled by church tribunals-a process that despite recent reforms may take years and entail a considerable outlay of money...
