Divorced an remarried Catholics CANNOT receive the Eucharist because they are living in an adulterous relationship....a no-no.

But if they pay the "vig" to the Catholic church, they then obtain a paper that says the marriage was never valid and all is okay and forgiven. They can then remarry. Miraculously, then they're not living in an adulterous manner. It's all about giving the proper $$$ to the Catholic church.

Nope, annulments are done, in the vast majority of cases at no charge. It is not s simple matter at all, evidence is given on both sides and a tribunal of sorts makes a decision. It is NOT a cut and dried situation and proof must be presented to show a valid reason why the original marriage might not be valid.
