“How much more evidence of Protestant duplicity do you need?”
LOL..... It’s “Protestant duplicity” when talking about Catholic Divorce.
Duplicity is pretending a divorce is really not a divorce.
It’s unmarriage in general. It’s bad whether you’re Catholic or Protestant.
You claim there is a difference when people get married and then are no longer married after a period of time living as a married couple. They go from one to the other and are unmarried. Catholics call it one thing, Protestants call it something else. Yet there is no difference - folks who were once married no longer are.
I completely get that Catholics only grant annulments after a process they go through - and one can argue about the Gingrich and Kennedy priority - but the end result is exactly the same. Catholics don’t recognize it for what it is, and that’s fine - but it really is a distinction without a difference - whether it’s a Hatian divorce or a tribunal in Rome, or a poor slob at the courthouse - you get unmarried - everyone recognizes it as that.
No, it's Protestant duplicity when one keeps insisting an annulment is the same thing as a divorce when it manifestly is not.
There's no such thing as a "no-fault" annulment. Annulments are granted because the marriage was entered into under false pretenses and therefore was not valid.
That a spouse remains for an extended period in hopes of repairing the fault and becomes convinced they can not is none of your business, and certainly not yours to judge.
