That the Church granted an annulment as well as the new marriage on those grounds is an awful example to the world of how the Church views the marriage vows and it appears that money and fame can get you anything you want.

And it only took ten years....

That money and fame will get you anything you want, but the service seems to be a little slow.

"And it only took ten years...."

All an Annulment Tribunal can do is to determine the details at the time of the marriage and make a determination as to whether there were any circumstances that would have caused the marriage to be invalid. It does not have the ability to compel testimony or subpoena records. These things take time.

Peace be with you.

Old Teddy did a lot of fooling around both before and after his legal divorce. Not being a fan of his, I have no idea when he met Vickie and decided he wanted a Catholic wedding to a fellow Catholic. How long was his engagement to her before he started to seek the annulment? That's the real question and it STILL doesn't matter how long it took, he got what he wanted/paid for, didn't he?
