The Pope himself has spoken out recently against easy annulments.

It is scandalous, and is justifiably called "Catholic divoece."

Rich or poor, Catholics who seek annulments in order to marry again are usually those who have not worked very hard at their first marriages.

Check it out! Google "Pope, annulments"

The Pope has rightly expressed concern about the abuse of the annulment process here in the US. A lot of it has come about because of the 'touchy feely' ideas that have permeated the Church in the last 30 years. I believe, with the newest crop of Bishops, we are going to see some changes in that regard.

There are some annulments that are deserved, and the Church recognizes this.
