Are you aware of the "divorce" rate between Protestants and Catholics? Divorce, not annulment.

That would be rather interesting. One of the guys I work with is an ex-catholic. He left catholicism to become a strict Bible based Christian. He later married a Protestant. His parents evidently don't treat him any too good now, and they treat his wife like less than a human being. I'm just wondering how many divorces happen that are considered other than divorce because catholics don't view the marriage as valid. Just a curiosity. I think my coworker would tell someone to stuff it before he'd ever consider the notion of parting with his wife.

We are discussing civil divorces granted and the stated religion/denomination of the participants. Whether the Church or strict Catholics view a marriage as valid or existing is not relevant. The state is the one issuing divorces. The number of divorces issued by the Church is zero.
