And it’s none of our business has to many wives the Orthodox allow.

Still holding on to that myth that the Orthodox treat divorce any different than the Roman Catholics do with the "annulments," eh?

The only real difference is that you don't have to be as wealthy as a Kennedy to "buy" an annulment, just the consent of the Church hierarchy (done by having your priest write a letter to the appropriate Bishop).

But I know, I know. You've been told it's different somehow.

No, you don't know. Two wrongs don't make a right, whether the wrongs are Orthodox or Frankenchurch.

Actually, we do. We can only have a max of 2 ecclesiastical divorces. The Latins can have, at least theoretically, unlimited annulments. I know a man who has had 3 and is getting ready to have his 4th marriage in the Latin Church.
