It’s called an Indulgence. More common in the church a thousand years ago but you can still pay for an annullment. One of my friends did that so she could remarry in the Catholic church. Divorce calls for excommunication.

Good Lord! You have several Catholics buzzwords here (indulgence, excommunication), but not the straight story. Annulments are not exactly the brightest side of today's Catholic Church, but if you're going to talk about them, you ought to know the official line:

No, it isn’t.

False. There is no way to pay for an annulment. Also, there has never been a connection between an indulgences and annulments.

“One of my friends did that so she could remarry in the Catholic church.”

She didn’t pay a dime for the annulment. She paid for the Tribunal’s costs.

“Divorce calls for excommunication.”

False. You cannot be excommunicated for divorce.

You seem to have no idea what you’re talking about. I do know what I’m talking about.
