annulment= bribe Catholic church.... done
I used to be good friends with a priest who worked in Cardinal Law's marriage tribunal. He was a really good guy, and I don't know how he wound up there.
Anyway, it's well known that this tribunal was extremely lax and willing to recommend annulments at the drop of a hat, like most American tribunals. No need to bribe anyone.
BUT, the Vatican was not happy with this situation, and it's very likely that it has been held up--I hope permanently--in Rome.
That's a stupid, baseless smear.
