I read the entire Bible. I never saw the word “annulment” in it once. Perhaps I have an obsolete version.
I applied for an annulment in July. Let’s see how long it takes for the first uninformed person to call my kids bastards.

So what is the correct view? Never allow divorce? Never acknowledge fraudulent or mistaken weddings happen? Or some super secret jury that allows what you want?
“So what is the correct view? “
The Biblical one, of course. I’m not surprised the catholic church struggles with it so.
And what do you claim is “the Biblical” view?
I wish I could be as holy and intelligent as you. Perhaps someday, God willing.
You undoubtedly own a Bible. Go read what Jesus said on the subject. He never used the word “annulment” once. Of that I am quite sure.
So you would never get a divorce, right? Or remarry while your real wife was still alive?
I’m not catholic so there is no need for me to participate in the fraud of “annulment” in the first place.
you weren't paying attention and your sarcasm is evident......annulment means it didn't happen in the first place....thus no need to mention it specifically...
that, by the way, is different from a divorce which many people accept and which disolves, somehow, a God oriented marriage....PATHETIC.
It did happen and to pretend it didn’t happen is to deny the truth
believe this....the Catholic church struggles with NOTHING biblical....we didn't change the rules, we established them....
“s different from a divorce which many people accept and which disolves, somehow, a God oriented marriage....PATHETIC. ‘

I was married in the Catholic Church and am now divorced. I am NOT pathetic.
.
no, it actually didn't..there are many and varied reasons why a legitimate marriage didn't take place, and a group of people study the particulars and make a decision.
what if it is found that the couple were first cousins?.....what if one or the other people had entered into a previous marriage....what if the husband, or the wife were incapable of consummating the marriage.....what if either one stated that they were unwilling to have children....wwhat if one or the other were still bound by a vow of celebacy or chastity...
So please cite for me, Chapter and Verse, wherein Jesus mentioned annulment.
Take your time.
of course you are not pathetic....however, if you divorce, and remarry, without an annulment, you are denying biblical and Catholic truth and that is pathetic.
Bunny in the hat trick. Now you see it....now you don’t.
Pathetic.
I think you’ll wait an eternity.
