Ten Commandments Changed

[T-Bone _]

One must remember that Protestants, in their numbering, lump women together with farm animals.

The Scripture says "what God has joined, let no man part", and we take God at His word. Annullments are not divorces, it simply means the conditions of marriage were not fulfilled at the time of the marriage, no marriage ever existed.[/quote]




I'm sorry, this might be a little off topic. I have never heard that Catholics can get divorced. I thought (if absolutely necessary) they could get an annulment. Isn't a divorce something the government organized?

[T-Bone _]

The divorce is a civil one, yes. But it is not a sin, if the divorce is for a grave reason. You still can't get married without the declaration of nullity though.

And...about 90% of people who apply for annulments, get them. That pretty interesting, on a few levels.

[Ora et Labora]

I've heard that was kind of, an abuse in a way. Right?

That is debatable. Yes there are a lot of annulments, but is it because the courts are way too lenient, or is it because the society is so screwed up kids today lack ANY concept of committment and hard work found in marriage because they have never seen it?

I think the latter is mostly the case.

And so the plot thickens yet again: almost all annulment applications come from the United States.

No surprise, we have a high divorce rate, and many, many, badly catechized Catholics who didn't know what they were doing when they attempted to contract marriage.
