These weren't children. The old dog did this when they were in their teens and twenties.
I guess should have said "sacramental rite" for the RCC.
Anyway, this hypocrite had a marriage of twenty-some years annulled
so that he could remarry his girlfriend.
He was a very big contributor to his local diocese
which says to me "Money talks and BS walks".
His annulment zipped through lickety split.
I know all the other Christian denominations have their scandals, but I don't know
of many that are institutionalized like the RCC.
Annulments and Indulgences being prime examples.

Your comment about indulgences only shows how much you've bought into anti-Catholicism.
