This slanders both Kerry and the Catholic church.

The children of an annulled marriage are considered legitimate under canon law. This "slander" is often used by "innocent" spouses (usually bitter women) to stop their husbands from getting a second marriage in the Church, and to turn their children against the poor man...

And annulment means only that there were problems in the marriage from the start that made one or both partners unable to contract a sacramental marriage. Kerry's first wife has a history of mental illness, depression, which would allow an annulment.

Not unless it affected her ability to understand and contract a valid marriage at the time of the vows. He married her for better or for worse, and subsequent medical problems are not grounds for annulment.

Heck, wouldn't being married to Kerry make anyone depressed?? ;)
