Dear nufsed,

“Sorry your so sensitive.”

Not at all. It's merely a desire to keep the facts straight. Mr. Kennedy is blameworthy for many things. “Bribing” the Church for an annulment is very likely not one thing for which he is blameworthy. Even an evil man has a right to what little good reputation he may have.

You repeated a falsehood commonly heard - that Mr. Kennedy "bribed" the Church with his huge donations to obtain a declaration of nullity. But the facts are clear - over 50,000 such declarations are issued in the United States every year, in a process that usually takes a few years, at a cost nearly always under a thousand dollars.

If he "bribed" anyone, he got ripped off.

Countering falsehoods with the facts is hardly the stuff of being "so sensitive."

“Read the mods comment.”

I did read the Religion Moderator's comments. In that I didn't make it personal, and didn't direct any of my comments at any poster, but merely at the falsehoods that were posted, I don't believe that his/her comments were directed at my posts herein. The Religion Moderator, I'm sure, will correct my assertion if it is in error.

FWIW...it appears as though he never APPLIED for an annulment until 1995.....

“In 1995, Kerry applied for an annulment, by which the Church declares that a marriage never existed. The annulment was apparently granted”
