The Church does not recognize divorce so, if a Catholic does receive a divorce, the Church considers the couple to be merely separated. Should either party then remarry without going through the official annulment procedure, they are considered to be living in adultery and are excluded from the sacraments until they regularize their marriage situation.
Divorced catholics may have a full funeral mass, if the divorce was annulled prior to their death.
If the marriage does not work you may want to remarry one day so yes. Most people are Catholics there though so you might not be granted divorce from the church.
That depends. If they divorced and did not remarry, they may receive communion. However, if they remarried without obtaining an annulment they may not receive until they regularize their marital situation.
Divorce does not exist within the Roman Catholic Church, but Catholics can apply for an annulment. If the marriage is deemed to have been invalid, it is declared null. The advantage of an annulment is that the Catholic is recognized to have never validly contracted marriage and is therefore free to marry. In most countries, Catholics can obtain a divorce from the secular authorities, without reference to the Church. A divorce allows the Catholic to remarry under law, and is usually required whether or not an annulment is obtained from the Church. Even if the Catholic does not obtain an annulment, a secular divorce allows him or her to remarry, but not in a Catholic church. However, it is important to remember that the Catholic Church will not formally recognise this marriage.

Many Catholics can read Emerson and other authors. Many cannot and they are called illiterate Catholics. If you are asking May Catholics read Emerson, the answer is Yes. Catholics may read whatever they use to read. The index of prohibited books was abolished in 1963.
I don't know all the details but if you're a Catholic and you get divorced you're cut off from the church... protestants still love you and are understanding if you get a divorce...there may be others but I know this from family history.
Catholics are Christians and have no reason to circumcise their penis. There is no reason other then it is genital mutilation for them not to do it so you may find that catholics in the US may do it for non religious cultural reasons.
You're talking apples and oranges. In point of fact, both of these things are sin, but of a different variety. Catholics are against divorce because a true sacramental marriage between a man and a woman lasts until death and there is nothing that anyone can do to separate them, a civil divorce may be allowed in certain extreme cases (abuse, etc.) but there is no actual divorce, they remain married, just living apart under a civil divorce. "Gay marriage" is an entirely different thing. It is rooted in the sin of sodomy which is actually sacrilege, the sin of sodomy is one of the four in the Bible of the "sins that cry to heaven for venegance" (along with murder, oppression of the poor and defrauding workers of their due wages).
No. Soldiers cannot get a divorce for free, but they may be able to get reduced fees for a divorce
