Grounds for annulment

Comments

Wow. Are there any reasons one can't get an annulment? I think they covered every possible reason for a relationship ending... Frankly, it sounds like annulment is simply the Catholic word for divorce, and just as easily accessible. I never knew that.

Pretty much. There are a number of Catholics who say exactly the same thing, and are up in arms about it as a defilement of the faith. The USA has 6% of the world's Catholics, and 75% of the world's annulments.

There was a billboard up in Toronto a while ago basically accusing the Catholic Bishops of being responsible for murder, because they discourage using any kind of birth control/std protection. The billboard was paid for by a "concerned catholics" group or similar; they referred to "our" bishops.

"You or your spouse married because of an external physical or moral force which you could not resist."

Well, you see, she had this sawed off shotgun pointed at my willy, and you know, we was in the car at Vegas at the marry-you-folks-up-right-now window, and I didn't think I'd get stuck, you know, ferever... So help me out here and make me all clean and shiny again...

Er no, that wasn't what I had in mind... and that's not a shotgun... hey!...

(not knowing any of your circumstances, this may annoy the hell out of you - it's not inteded too - I just thought that 'reason' was too funny to leave alone...)

Yeah, we've met, but I don't think we've gamed together yet - You've been to ACUS at least once, and I was in the group at ACN that went to Living Well - I sat across from Brianne. (I hope I am spelling her name right...) You and the posse were at the other end of the table...

Jenn

Oh! Ok! Yes, I remember you now. But even saying "Jenn from ACN" wasn't quite enough, as I was thinking of the other one (whom I know fairly well, from several Black Roads as well as ACN and ACUS).
