Posted on 07/18/2006 7:13:49 AM PDT by TheStickman
The annulment nitemare has come to an end. Thanks be to God! Thank you to all who've been praying for us since our Journey began in Feb 2004. If all goes well and there are no more paperwork snafu's, visualops and I will have our marriage convalidated and I will be brought into the fullness of the Catholic Church.
Again, thank you for praying for us!

Annulment is a man-made contrivance to rationalize what God calls divorce. While it may reconcile one to the Roman Catholic Church, it does not square with the Word of God. If you think I am wrong, please point me to the Scripture that condones annulment.

Not taking the bait. You want to argue about this issue you'll have to find someone else to play with:)
The Peace of Our Lord be with you always!
To: TheStickman
You set a very good example to us all.

Did you check with Kerry and the Kennedy's? They know all the annulment shortcuts. I think its mostly if you can afford it or not.

If you think I am wrong, please point me to the Scripture that condones annulment. "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven."

Annulment is a man-made contrivance to rationalize what God calls divorce. If two people are drunk when they're married, is their marriage valid? Most people would say no, thus recognizing the principle of null marriages.
The Catholic Church recognizes what is obvious to most people, that marriages may be invalid. But the Church recognizes greater grounds for invalidity.
For example, before defining an invalid marriage, marriage itself must be defined. If marriage is defined as the union for life of two people for the begetting and raising of children, then a marriage may be invalidated if one or both participants enters marriage seeing it as a temporary condition, or rejects the possibility of children altogether.
These are the main principles of invalidity recognized by the Church, but there are others.

The fees are low and waived when necessary.

That was quick! Focusing the attention of the folks over at the chancery can get results, can't it?

Glad to hear you stuck it out. Things were looking pretty bleak at one point, if I recall correctly.

Well I know my brother tried for 4 years to get an annullment. he had legal justification for it too.
He kept trying til he got the price down an finally got it.
Now Kennedy? he was married for 25 years. Now I dont care what the justification a 25 year marriage should stick. Noannulment here. Kerry he wanted a richer wife. Aristotle wanted to marry Jackie Kennedy just to say he owned her and she made 12 million off the deal, I doubt the marriage was ever consummated.
Mistakes can be made and for certain reasons some marriages should be annulled. Some others shouldnt.

Maybe in some dioceses, but apparently not ours. We put in for reduced fees and they were reduced a negligible amount. They were expensive.
