I should clarify there is one bloody sacrifice. It a reposition of it. http://www.fisheaters.com/mass.html
The whole business of annulments bothers me, as it probably bothers many a faithful Catholic.
One old friend of mine was on her second marriage and it was her husband’s second marriage too. Both brought up Catholic. When the guy found out he had cancer, he spent his last remaining time and energy on trying to get his first marriage annulled, so he could die in a state of grace. I don’t think such niceties bothered my friend that much.
The entire subject of atonement and forgiveness was abandoned in favor of a ritual exculpation.
I’m not judging anyone, although it may sound as if I am. I just think the whole concept is bogus.
No, it is scripture.
