By their own words they stand in error.

There Is No Salvation Outside Of The Catholic Church

lol. Today. Tomorrow they will argue the opposite.

The only consistency in Rome is its inconsistency.

5. Annulments Are Not Catholic Divorces – Unlike the legal process known as “divorce” (in which a marriage is terminated), a declaration of nullity (annulment) states that a valid marriage never existed. This decision is based upon the finding that on the day that marriage vows were exchanged, some essential elements were lacking. This process is completely in conformity with the Catholic teaching regarding the indissolubility of marriage. Incidentally, the granting of an annulment does not render children illegitimate.

This always gets me..the church says the marriage was never valid in the eyes of God.. what does God call sex outside of marriage..fornication ..so every single time that couple had sex they committed the sin of fornication IN GODS EYES.

What does God call children born out of wedlock? Bastards

The church can not say with a straight face that 2 things are true at the same time..1)the marriage was never valid in the eyes of God and in the next that the children are not the product of fornication IN THE EYES OF GOD

Now there is the issue of what the RCs call "sacramental grace" that is received when one gets a sacrament

I believe that it is taught that the sacrament imprints a permanent mark on the soul.. BUT wait they say that because God never saw the marriage as valid.. there was no grace dispensed..so sacraments require that the people have advanced knowledge of a situation they may not have been aware of at the time of the sacrament to receive grace......confused yet?
