Whatever about the church in America’s practices around granting annulments- its not a problem at all if one party doesn’t want an annulment. As father Brendan said in the video - it only takes one party in a marriage to make the whole marriage invalid. If one person did not intend to uphold all of the core elements of a marriage when getting married then the whole marriage is invalid and an annulment can be granted. The legitimacy of the annulment is not impacted in any way by whether one of the parties does not want the annulment to be granted.
@@Mike-xb3pr there is a huge problem with granting annulments these days. Not that long ago very few annulments were allowed because the Catholic thing to do was to go to a priest if there is a problem in a marriage and then the priest helped solve the problem by correction. These days annulments are given for many reasons and is as common as divorce. It’s a shambles, like most of the institutions.
I think it might be similar in Ireland. My parents grew apart and when we were teenagers my mother wanted an annulment, I could not see how it could be granted but it was. Nearly broke my Dad, definitely broke his heart. It was all for nothing as they continued to live together (but separately)
What if after annulment and the person who was supposed to get special permison from the bishop if they wanted to marry again BUT went into a 2nd marriage without consulting their bishop.
Surely a civil divorce cannot break a marriage bond as a civil marriage is not a marriage in the eyes of the church. I would view a divorce as an end to my civil marriage and should I want to, if and only if I was granted a church annulment, to be the able to marry again.
"An unusually headless lad" brilliant
Great video!
Rex the dog even knew...🤣
Ah yes, the old "I have a large cache of love letters covered in various exotic lipsticks" argument😅
All your videos are very entertaining. :)
The Church in America is giving out almost 100% annulments. Even to marriages that one party doesn’t want an annulment

Could you speak on the issue of annulments being granted too liberally
Thousands upon thousands were granted after VII apparently

If 2 non Catholic get married outside Catholic church, it is a valid in the eyes of Church
