If not, the previous marriage is considered null, as if it never happened with God, and it is not an impediment to remarriage

I thought it was just sloppy writing. The way you wrote it makes it look like sleight of hand in front of God. Considering that's exactly what most people think a declaration of nullity is, I was hoping that you really didn't mean it that way. Take out the "as if" for a start.

Ah, the way you read it made you think it was a sleight of hand in front of God. It was not my intent to cause you to stumble. You can read it without the "as if."

The way I read it was the way you wrote it... LOL

Do you two know each other?

Not quite, you read it as you read it, understood it according to your understanding but as I clarified, not as I intended it.

I have no idea why I was pinged to this thread. af_vet_1981, what you wrote was clear.
