...Marriage is a sentence in the Catholic church

Love, Honor, and Cherish
Keeping us Only unto each other
Til Death do us Part

Oath taken Voluntarily,
Without Intent to Deceive,
Before God and Witnesses

One cannot break an Oath without breaking themselves
I cannot let myself out of this Oath
Only God can do this (not the Church incidentally)
and He has spoken Clearly on this subject

Annulment, after consummation, is an illusion
Divorce, and Remarriage is an abomination
The Oath Binds whether I like it or not
The Oath Binds whether the Church supports it or not

Oh Yes, I am not a Catholic, merely a follower of Christ

Marriage vows are taken very seriously in all major religions, including Catholicism. Why people single out that faith is beyond me.

I, too, am not allowed to receive the sacraments because I am married to a divorced Catholic man. That was my decision and I take an adult attitude towards it. I refuse to blame the Church for my actions.

Yeah well, good luck with that, maybe you are one of the lucky ones, but for some of us, what was meant for good has dealt evil.
