Annulment is a PRIVATE reality, which NOBODY needs to be told about.

Not even the PRIEST giving Communion has the right to demand information about any Formal Annulment Decree.

ONLY a Priest conducting a MARRIAGE Ceremony has any right to inquire on such matters.

And? This is also the ONLY time ANY Catholic is required to even address the issue.

So? Many think you are wrong. There is NOTHING you can do about the millions of Catholics, and literally THOUSANDS of Priests and Bishops who think you are wrong.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith led the Inquisition. They have been wrong before, they are wrong now, and NO Pope has ever declared that the Internal Forum is NEVER allowed in cases of remarriage.

You, btw, are a rules-and-regs idiot. Someone could, LITERALLY, commit murder upon the former spouse and people like you would have no problem with the living spouse then “qualifying” under your absurd rules, for a full Catholic wedding.

Again, this subject is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, and I am sure that many who obsess on such matters are, themselves, guilty of bearing false witness.

Since when did the Church become a democracy? Church teaching and guidance on this matter is clear. We are all free to ignore it, but not to deny it.

NO Pope has ever declared that the Internal Forum is NEVER allowed in cases of remarriage.

Nor has any pope ever declared that in regard to this issue, a widespread substitution of personal conscience in place of Church authority is permissible.

"So? Many think you are wrong."

So? Many Catholics think gay "marriage" and abortion are also ok. When did the Church become a democracy?

The rules are the rules. Take 'em or leave 'em.
