comment May divorced men become Roman Catholic priests?
This pamphlet (pdf) from the Archdiocese of Toronto is an excellent resource on marriage and annulment, although it doesn't contain information on ordained men.

Very similar question (It's expressed slightly differently, but the effect is the same): What are the steps to become Confirmed in the Catholic church?

comment May divorced men become Roman Catholic priests?
Yes: I'm a member of the English Ordinariate and my parish priest is married. He had to get permission from Rome to be ordained. Married clergy are not eligible to be bishops.

comment How can common believers be sure that the Church's decisions are correct and not erroneous?
The Synod of Hieria was not an Ecumenical Council: it was called and chaired by the imperial family and no patriarchs were present. Its status is implicit in the Second Council of Nicaea declaring itself to be the actual Seventh Ecumenical Council. Any others?

Your example on contraception doesn't actually involve Councils, I think. Do you have an example where a Council's position has been reversed by another?

comment Catholic view of Biblical saints
+1. This is why posthumous miracles are required for the Church to declare someone a saint. Miracles can only be granted if the "saint" is actually in the presence of God to procure them.

Neck of the woods: locality, area, especially one which is familiar because of residence.

There were definitely martyrs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Christian_martyrs_by_century I'm not familiar enough with Luther to list any he thought particularly highly of.
