The truth is, most Catholics know almost nothing about the annulment process, except that it is long and difficult. I disagree with your presumption.
>> assured decree of nullity that is all but advertised by 'pastoral helpers'...
This is all tooo true. The tribunal told the petition in my case that she had a slam dunk case. This emboldened her actions...
Having read the sentence, it was anything but slam dunk. Pure fabrication and judicial activism.....
Tribunal officals really need to stay neutral and simply process things, not advise petitioners.
I agree -it is the 'pastoral helpers' that are well versed in creating petitions...
