I was advised to get the annulment for that reason since at the time I was attending the church again and going to a singles group they were trying to start. The priest said if I met someone there I would need to have had the annulment before we could get married in the church again.
I only stayed a few months and went back to the Mormon church where I did not need a annulment. My second husband was Mormon that is how I ended up going there.
The priest told me I would have no problem and it would be fast, just had to get him to come in and tell what he did. I did not want to bring it all back up again after so many years and after him serving 7 years in prison for it.
It is not that, it is they allow you out of the marriage but do not call it a divorce. I do not see what the difference is from getting an annulment and getting a divorce.
When the priest told me I was to get a annulment I asked how can that be as I thought you could only get one if you never slept with the guy. He told me that God did not put us together or he would not have treated me like he did so since God never put us together I could get the annulment.
I would have to pay to get an annulment if the guy had one or he would be considered dating a married woman. When I found out what I had to go through to get an annulment that is when I decided if my divorce was good enough for the law then it was good enough for me.
I like your way of thinking. I have not been back to the Catholic Church in years but now my grand daughter is going to a Catholic School. My daughter had to sign a paper that it is alright for her to be taught their ways. Tammy is now thinking maybe we should attend the Catholic Church, which I never liked, too boring.

My youngest daughter just phoned and does not want to exchange presents this year. She says she has too many bills.
