Unfortunately for all involved an Annulment Tribunal is not infallible nor inerrant, especially when dealing with sociopathic master manipulators like Ted Kennedy. I am frankly surprised that those who deny the infallibility of the Magisterium hold administrative functionaries to a higher standard.

I don't think anyone really has denied that the annulment process within the Roman Catholic Church is broken - and that has been the point. It's good to see you have finally admitted it after defending the process for the last day or so. It definitely proves the chinks in the armor of infallibly defined infallibility since what "administrative functionaries" do, they do as representatives of the Catholic Church. Their decisions ARE binding upon Roman Catholics, are they not?

You need to read more carefully. He said no such thing.

I never said the process is broken, it is flawed because we are flawed. In the vast number of cases it functions perfectly.

The Church has never declared the annulment process to be infallible. How or why anyone would try to use that to impugn the integrity of the Papacy or the Magisterium by implying they are equivalent administrative functions shows just how desperate the anti-Catholics are to damage the Church.

The Romans used to have a saying; Qui Bono, for whom the benefit. We know that the Obama administration and the Democrats too are anti-Catholics and are desperately trying to diminish the moral authority of the Church in order to destroy the freedom of religion. The anti-Catholics on this thread are either willing accomplices or merely useful idiots. When I see no fruits of the Holy Spirit in them or their posting histories I can only conclude their motives are the darker of the two. Be careful, when you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas.

Peace be with you
