I remember a Priest saying it succinctly. People like the Kennedy's and Sinatra were granted "late" annulments because they lived such screwed up lives.
True, but in Ted Kennedy's case, it was never a marriage. Joan was a fruitcake and really, they never should have been allowed to marry.

Having grown up in Catholic school, I never heard of alcoholism as being grounds for an annulment. We were taught that marriage was a Sacrament involving lifelong commitment 'for better or worse'.
