If somebody has legitimate grounds for an annulment then they are entitled to it; serious Catholics can usually determine whether an annulment that is granted is valid or simply a “Catholic divorce”.

I have more confidence in some Protestant politicians than Catholic ones when it comes to matters of life & family; Bush was more “Catholic” than Kerry.

This isn’t really about Protestant or Catholic politicians, though Catholic politicians for national usually have to make it clear one way or another that Rome won’t have a voice in things beyond basic religious underpinnings. I guess we’ll find out soon if Mormon candidates for national office have to do the same thing. Protestant religions are generally more decentralized and the independence is implied in politicians - fair or not. I’m guessing that a Jewish national candidate would be more-or-less treated like a Protestant in that regard.

Personally, I’m happy for folks when they find their own religious home, no matter which direction they are swimming the Tiber.

But divorce shenanigans are not the exclusive domain of Protestants.
