Interesting. My very catholic cousin was married in the Catholic Church by a priest to a non catholic she had lived with for quite some time before getting around to marrying him. In a dresss that was barely there and certainly didn’t cover her shoulders. Need I say her mom is a pillar of the church and gives them a lot of money?
She remains a catholic in very good standing despite her pro abortion pro gay marriage pro democrat stances. So don’t tell me the superior morality of the Catholic Church. Even without it being for sale. Funny how the rich and famous never have a problem getting that little anullment or are never bothered about those little votes in favor of partial birth abortion. Rank hypocrisy all around
As I said you can marry a non-catholic easily. The church has no problem with it. I did. A priest will handle the ceremony. The Catholic person just needs to promise that they will raise the children Catholic. That and pre-cana classes are all thats required.
Getting an annulment is easy or hard depending on several factors. Its easy if the ex will sign the annulment forms. Its faster if you have a Canon Lawyer or at least someone who knows the process and can shepherd it along. If you married a Catholic and your ex is not eager to sign off on the annulment you will have a tough time of it, especially if there are children and your marriage was long.
There are lots of pro gay, pro abortion, short dress wearing Catholics. Being Catholic does not stop you from sinning. Hopefully it just means you are trying to love god and your fellow man. After that you work through the Creed and the Our Father and the ten commandments, and the rest of the orthodoxy. Judging others without following through to helping others is a waste of time.
Like the annulment Henry VIII got?
We are all sinners. Our sins can be forgiven.
