I think Bruni is actually Sarkozy's THIRD wife. The odds of getting two annulments in the Catholic Church are probably very slim.

Agreed. I was just presenting an ‘if’ scenario.

I don’t know if Sarkozy is Catholic or ever married in a Catholic Church. However, if he was married in ANY Church, the RCC recognizes that marriage as valid and doesn’t recognize the divorce(s).

In the eyes of the RCC, I am not married to my husband who’d earlier been married in an Episcopal Church and was long divorced civilly before we met. They recognize only his first marriage.

Not a lot of wiggle room on these issues.
