Yes, and MANY BISHOPS agree with what I have posted.
In fact, those who believe that their Marriage is INVALID and have made that decision in the “Private Forum” are even ENCOURAGED to make that fact known, if later in life an actual Annulment process, through a Tribunal in the External Forum, takes place.
In other words? The CHURCH and CHURCH AUTHORITY take “Internal Forum” and “Conscience” decisions into account.
What do you say about that, you judgmental know it all?
I suggest that you wait to condemn anyone until YOU become a Bishop or a Cardinal.
You do NOT know what you are talking about. You do NOT known how to interpret these issues at all.
How is it that posting Church documents and guidance from priests, bishops, a pope, and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is "condemning anyone"? We're all free to choose. We're all free to take it or leave it.
Some suggest that a civilly remarried Catholic can decide for himself or herself whether a previous relationship was a valid marriage. But other people are involved, and no interested party is a good judge of his or her own case. Moreover, a sound judgment requires expertise and training even beyond the usual seminary courses in Church law, so that individuals who attempted to 'judge their own cases very often would be mistaken. Therefore, the Church's law rightly forbids individuals from trying to decide their own cases, even with a priest's advice and help.[7]

I say that when someone responds angrily toward someone else for posting Church teachings and documents that there is a huge amount of projection going on (indicative of an unfortunate lack of objectivity) and in such a case, reliance on the "internal forum" would be a particularly unsound decision.
I also say that to imply that privately applying the "internal forum" is a licit alternative to the tribunal process is wrong and misleading (as is clear to anyone who reads the official teachings and instructions of the Church). The Church has set up a process that we as Catholics should follow out of love for and obedience to our Lord.
BTW, the Kennedy's, Pelosi, Biden etc. rely on the "internal forum" to justify their pro-abort activities. Who would deny that they are on shaky ground there?
