Continued- as for Goren, he used his own political ambitions to distort his view on Halacha in order to nullify a marriage. Something is always suspect immediately when in order to issue his ruling he had to classify the entire psak. I don’t know if you’re aware, but psakim have always been made public (certainly never classified) in order to engage in public/peer scrutiny so that the TRUTH will be made clear. Historically, the case went through a few batei dinim but was always thrown out for halachic reasons, so all of a sudden goren is the only one (!) to rule what he did. The political anger and his ostracizing is righteous since he blatantly disregarded many batei dinim, poskim, rabbonim and talmedei chachomim and was matir the mamzeirim for his own political gain and benefit. That kind of outright brazenness and disregard to Halacha was what earned him his deserved “cheirem”. Rav Moshe zt”l was also anti Goren’s ruling and scoffed at it.
Stating that Rav Moshe zt”l went out of his way to keep children legitimate is inaccurate as it connotes that chas v’shalom he disregarded Halacha to do that. Rav Moshe zt”l used his incredible insight and knowledge in order to help klal Yisrael but one must not forget that there is a Halacha called mamzeirus and if halachically you can’t get around it then ??? ??? ???? ????? ??? ??.
