St Thomas More, pray for us.

St John Fisher, pray for us.

Yeah, my wife just told me that she was waiting for these changes to kick my ass to the curb.

But, after considering it’s been 29 years, 2 kids, and four dogs...we probably don’t qualify.

Problem is that Henry should have gotten the annulment he requested as church law was solidly on his side.

It was, by church law, no true marriage as he was pressured into marrying his sister in law when he was 11.

He rejected the marriage when he was 14 and only gave in when pressured into it by his father's dying wish.

Any one of these items would have been grounds for annulment.

Matt is a good writer.

Canon Law is not for pusillanimous students, since Canons deal with the ugliness of sin and the terror of demons.

Marriage is sacred, because marriage involves a sacred promise.

It is pointless spend hours defending Pope Francis who lacks diplomacy and public relations skills.

The Lord is King and let the earth rejoice. Nothing will crush His Church and His religion.

Mary stood between the good thief and the dying Lord. As a result, Jesus promised eternal reward to the good thief. Why? Because the good thief took care of Mary and Joseph while staying in Egypt many years earlier.

Moral of the story: Donate flowers to altars of Mary and trust she will ask her Son for much needed fortifications.

Does this streamlining apply to second, third, fourth marriages?

How does the Catholic church handle the following situation:

An atheist marries another atheist. They have 4 children. The husband converts to become Catholic and the wife divorces him for being a “Jesus freak.”

How would the Catholic church handle such a situation if the man would like to remarry a nice Catholic lady?
