...Dwyer said in Mexico City that as a Catholic he could not recognize the civil action. Sloan said that she had hoped a church annulment would come through simultaneously with a civil divorce; she indicated that she had no intention of putting herself in a state of mortal sin by remarrying without one. On the advice of church authorities, she is planning to return to Mexico to be interrogated by an ecclesiastical council...
