The fact that John Kerry's annulment was denied, with all the swell resources he has at his disposal, would seem to undercut your assertion (I won't dignify it by calling it an argument) that rick folks buy them in wholesale lots.

Annulments are still hard to get.

Are you representing yourself as an authority on Catholic marriage tribunals? Do you know how many annulments are granted every year? How many were granted 40 years ago? Do you know what percentage this represents of the total applied for? Do you know what percentage of annulments world-wide, are granted to Americans? You are out of your depth here, dealing in uninformed hearsay. If you want information about the Catholic annulment prcedure in America today, there are plenty of ways to find out, most of which are more reliable than cocktail party gossip.

See post #79. Legitimate Catholic Church annulments for traditional, historical, legitimate reasons are not that hard to get. Annulments outside those parameters, such as the one John Kerry sought, are still quite difficult though much less so for the Kennedys of Massachusetts
