[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The annulment process just says that the marriage you entered into was not a sacramental one. It was still a marriage, but not sacrament. If not a sacrament, then it can be broken. The children are still born into 'wedlock', they are just like all the other children born to couples not married by the Catholic Church.

Also, the pp who says that as a Catholic one can marry a non-catholic (as long as you promise to raise your children catholic) is correct. In this case also, however, you technically do not receive the sacrament of marriage because it can not be given to only 'half' the couple. [/quote]

I believe the non catholic must be a Christian of some sort.

No, the nonCatholic spouse need not be Christian.

In some countries, only religious marriage exists--there are no civil marriages.  In those countries, a Catholic would have to get an annulment to end the marriage, regardless of whether he or she wanted to remarry.[/quote][/quote]

which countries are these?[/quote]

Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon and Egypt come to mind.  It's not uncommon for people to convert to other religions just so they can divorce because as a Catholic in those countries it is virtually impossible.  It may be the same in the Philippines too.[/quote]
