Why would the Catholic Church annul a marriage at the behest of homosexuals? Only the church can annul a marriage. Maybe "annul" like the word "marriage" is misunderstood by the master race.

If your religion tells you that then fine, but the government has been in that business for a long time.

Allow me to clarify. Not the Catholic Church. The State.

I've already run into the rabbit hole in Blue Jersey.

The State will no longer recognize a marriage certificate issued by a religious institute as a legal document.

The States will have to only recognize marriages under a Civil Certificate.

See?

Actually, there's a legal definition of annulment that has nothing to do with the Church, Catholic or otherwise. Perhaps you just aren't aware of the broader legal definition.

There are civil annulments in most (if not all) states.
