[quote=Anonymous]I'm Catholic and I don't understand how the church can say a marriage didn't exist. It sounds like BS that allows one or two people who really screwed up a sort of cop out and removes accountability--in the eyes of the church-- for their bad choices or plain old bad behavior. And if you're such a devoted Catholic and all concerned about things being done "properly" before the eyes of God or whatever, isn't it basically too little, too late? Maybe you should have thought about being a good spouse or just a better person to begin with if you're the one who messed up your marriage by cheating/drinking/gambling/abusing? I heard a story about a couple that had a few kids and the husband basically just couldn't hack the stress of being married and left his wife but continued sending checks for the kids. Supposedly they eventually got an annulment.

I can't fathom how the wife allow the marriage to be "erased" by the church. Why wouldn't she want her ex to be held as accountable as possible and not be able to marry again before God for being such a thoughtless, selfish d*ckhead?! Again, seems like a great way to let someone basically give themselves a clean slate and get to start all over again in the church even though the truth is they were awful to another person, including their kids.
