Death is not a sacrament. Marriage is. Unless of course it was a Catholic non-marriage type of marriage to be determined at some future unspecified time.

I didn’t ask about sacraments. I didn’t ask about marriage, Catholic or otherwise.

Would it make it easier for you to understand if I call it “unlife?”

Are murder and natural death morally equal since they both result in unlife?

"Death is not a sacrament. Marriage is. Unless of course it was a Catholic non-marriage type of marriage to be determined at some future unspecified time."

Do you think a marriage between a man and a seven year old girl is a valid marriage or should the Church nullify it?

Do you think that a marriage against the will of either party is a valid marriage or should the Church nullify it?

Do you think the marriage involving a seriously mentally disabled or unconscious person is invalid or should the Church nullify it?

Do you think that the marriage to someone who is already married to one or more other persons is a valid marriage or should the Church nullify it?

These are just a few of the more obvious grounds on which the Church determines that the marriage was never a valid marriage. Can you at least agree that there are some legitimate reasons to annul a marriage?

Peace be with you
