I know nothing about this film but how sincere of a Catholic could somebody who married and then divorce Tom Cruise be?

[ArrogantBustard]

Getting the heck away from Tom “Xenu” Cruise strikes me as a very sensible thing to do ...

She could have had it annulled because of “fraud”, couldn’t she?

[A.A. Cunningham]

The fact that she's a redhead has to be taken into consideration.

Kidman has since been granted an annulment on the basis that her first marriage did not conform to the requirements of the Church.

Dear gondramB,

It’s tough to say what her marital status vis-a-vis the Church. First, there is the question of whether Mr. Cruise was eligible to contract a valid Catholic marriage. He was divorced when he married Ms. Kidman, and a Scientologist as well. Either of these circumstances may have been prima facie impediments to a valid sacramental marriage, meaning that they may have never even attempted a Catholic marriage.

Next, even if they were ostensibly married in the Church, Mr. Cruise’s bizarre beliefs may affect his views toward marriage, as well, and may make his participation in a Catholic marriage problematic.

She was a fallen away N.O. Catholic when she married Cruise. After the divorce she returned to the Church. That might have been one of the things which led to the divorce. I heard she became disenchanted with Scientology.
