Doctrine, dogma. One in the same.

That's not technically correct. Dogma is solemnly defined truth, doctrine is teaching. But beyond that I'm not sure how much more relaxed the annulment procedures could be, the last I heard 80% of the world's annulments come from the 5% of Catholics who live in the US.

I am specifically talking about streamlining the process. It can take years to get an annulment. That needs to change. And I think it will.

Most American annulments entail lying under oath. I think the bishops hate this but don’t know what to do.
