We, as catholic christians, realize that we did not initiate our faith nor are we the perfectors of this faith. Without explanation, God has called us and through grace has been the one to initiate our faith. God will complete the good work he has started in us and bring us to perfection in Jesus Christ. So the question does not center around Catholicism, but rather, Christianity. God finds us where we are, in the mire of our circumstance, and works in us his redemptive work by changing us from the inside out. God knows that there is something (probably many somethings) in each of us that needs to change, but God, in meeting us where we are expects that we will be attentive to what he asks and he will never ask of us more than we can bear. The sacrifice of Jesus was for us, for our redemption. Through his sacrifice we are made clean, we become righteous, through faith in him. This is the teaching of the catholic church. Both Jesus and Saint Paul warned us about legalistic teachers and man made laws, that the redemptive work of Jesus was all it took. It's not about what you or I have done, it's not about the past. God will meet you where you are right now. If you accept our Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, and have Faith in Him, you are saved. It's as simple as that. From that point on, a miracle happens, God transforms your life. So the answer to your question, If I were divorced, can I become a catholic? You are really asking can you become a christian. Of course! Who are we to question who God has called? Can you become a catholic? Of course! For the same reason.
