Exactly. A lot of these people should not have married in the Church the first time let alone divorce and remarry another. OMG! My friend was wedding facilitator at a large parish. The stories she used to tell.

We all know the type of "Catholics" that get themselves into these situations. They are the types that only show up for the Sacraments and the pageantry and their faith is about as deep as a thimble.

My friend could tell by the style of the wedding dress if is was going to be a sacrament or a show.

Dear defconw,

“We all know the type of ‘Catholics’ that get themselves into these situations.”

Ironically, many of these sorts of Catholics might have valid grounds for a declaration of nullity on the basis of lack of proper consent. Giggling post-teens in love with love and more concerned about the flowers in the church and the food at the reception may lack what is needed to form the consent required for the valid operation of the sacrament.

The scandal is that the Church allows them to marry in the Church, anyway.
