Frank Sinatra and Ted Kennedy both got annulments. The Catholic Church makes a joke of itself with the way they dole out annulments.
It’s not a joke. After over 10 years of marriage my son in law told my daughter that he never wanted to be married and never wanted to have children.
Two weeks later he moved in with a man.
Now is that a joke? I think not. It is a simple annulment called a lack of form.
Before you speak in such a way, perahps you should learn what the Catholic Church teaches here.
I can assure you from my own personal experience the Catholic Church does NOT “dole out annulments” for regular folks. Took me 2 years, many sleepless nights, lots of praying & for me, a crazy amount of patience to endure the process. It was fair, slow & deliberate. It was NOT pleasant & deadly serious. I would not have had it any other way, to be honest.
In the end, I was granted a decree of nullity for my 1st marriage. My 2nd (and final) wife & had our civil marriage con-validated as soon as we could & by the Grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ we were able to receive Him in the Eucharist.

As I understand it “immaturity” is the catch-all for annulment-seekers with enough money; can’t say I have any firsthand knowledge of it, though.
