The Pope challenges ruling allowing Copts to remarry

 Pope Tawadros is mounting a challenge to a new ruling passed by an administrative court requiring the Coptic Church to permit Christians to divorce and marry a second time. His challenge rests on the argument that the court did not interpret the law correctly. Separately, he also asserted in his argument that second marriage originally had no lawful legitimacy in Christianity and should therefore not be allowed.
