Its also an interesting study in statistics to see how many "left" the Church and got "saved" so they could remarry...

The local indie churches all like to brag that over half of their membership is former Catholics, but they fail to mention what a high percentage are divorced and remarried.

It'd also be interesting to see the statistics.

You got sources to back that up?

What? Catholics don't get divorced and remarried?

Oh! that's right (slaps head) they just get an annulment. Problem solved.

That sure cuts down on Catholic divorce statistics, doesn't it. See how much more spiritual Catholics are since their divorce rate isn't as high as anyone else's?

Wow! Thats a good point. I did not think of that. I have gone to weddings in my late20’s and 30’s that were because of “conversion”.
