    There are two instance's in my youth where marriages were annuled. The 1st was the marriage was not consummated therefore it was not a marriage and the second was a husband revealed to his new wife that there were to be no children. The marriage was annuled.

    Just making clear, when the Church declares annulment, it only states that the marriage was never consumated a sacrament.

    Just bc a person is v young does not mean the church can annul the marriage. The RCC has no authority to do this n what Jesus taught on divorce n remarriage is already in line with holy spirit n the holy spirit is not going to bend the rules for the RCC. There is only one holy spirit n all must obey. But there is no such thing as infallibility where a church makes its own rules n thinks that it is guided by the holy spirit.

    Mark 10:9 “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

    This what I needed to hear, my ex wife abandoned me and abandment is abuse, so I'm getting a annulment and I plan on remarrying, I don't think God would be so cruel to let me be abused by abandment and then on top of that I have to stay lonely my whole life.

    I believe remarriage is adultry unless a spouse has died....Annulments are a man made thing.... So 2 people go through hours of pre martial counciling to be sure of what marriage is, make vows to God in front of several hundred witnesses, have legal marriage certificates...then at a later point divorce and get a legal divorce certificate...but none of that REALLY happened???? It wasn't valid???? Come on....lets call it what it is... Divorce.
  • REad Mathew 19:12 to find out what some divorcees can do while others cannot. Like when becoming a priest or a nun instead of only being a divorcee with an annulment too. Having an annulment is like being a novice or a seminary student. Novices and seminary students can drop out of that direction in life to marry or remarry.

    Marriage is a sacremwnt. You get married and are married in gods eyes forever
  • This position is in direct contradiction to the words of our Savior Jesus Christ. This is wrong. What God has Joined let no MAN put asunder
  • Reconciliation Why bother having a Sacrament of Reconciliation if you don’t even bother to pray for Reconciliation in a Marriage? I mean, that wasn’t even a option here. Who cares if you divorced and remarried, it’s adultery. Reconcile with your first spouse.
  • @rodrogers6895
    There are millions of Christians who have been divorced, some as believers, some before they became believers. They have remarried, attend church regularly, are raising Godly children, etc. Never let the ‘church’ tell you God won’t let you have a happy life. God does love you ❤

    Listening to him makes me want to go back to Catholicism.❤

    Pay the church a sufficient fee and they can make any divorce and remarriage go away. Just ask Ted Kennedy how that worked out.

    I have been divorced in the Catholic church and my annulment application was refused without explanation. I have always been aware that when you divorce you cannot recieve holy Communion again. I still continue to recieve holy mass Virtually those days and I say a spiritual communion prayer. I am praying that God will forgive me for my divorce as it seems the Catholic church doesn't
