I once attended a Mass in a cathedral at which the theme of the sermon (preached by a priest, not by the bishop) was how easy it was to get an annulment. The point obviously was to be to get any Catholics who were there who had divorced and remarried to apply for an annulment of their first marriage so their second marriage could then be approved by the Church.

Yes, unfortunately, this is pretty typical of the mentality by many priests (and bishops) in the Church today. It is truly a scandalous situation, and while they may claim to be “pastoral,” to those in “irregular” (i.e. adulterous) “marriages”, they don’t seem to care a bit for those innocent spouses and children whose lives have been destroyed by unilateral “no-fault” divorce, and then suffer the indignity of being told that their marriage is not valid. It’s evil!
