Indeed, the points made by Pel and Mizpah in these quotes are excellant. I would dare say they are too good. By that I mean, they are so good that it makes it even more apparent that the pastor was grasping at straws to justify something he knew was improper.
Had he made those points in his announcement of the new romance, no one would have debated him. And, since he would have named no specifics, only that she had 1) become (or remained?) an "unbeliever" and 2) Had departed (filed for divorce). Then there would have been no lawsuit. The fact that he ignored this easy and proper solution appears (there's the root of my favorite phrase in this thread!) that it wouldnt quite match up with the facts.
