Well, this is the difficulty that I alluded to above, that the modernists use the same word "annulment" that was used before Vatican 2 but have substantially changed the meaning so that it now means in effect a simple divorce.
.
So, to your objection, no, the types of annulments that comprise the vast majority of those given out by the Novus Ordo church did not exist before Vatican 2.
.
I quoted the 1983 code of canon law to show you the new, modernist rules on marriage, which are different from the traditional Catholic rules.
.
As far as your statistics, first of all that happened when the modernist revolution had already gotten started under the false pope John 23, so that doesn't prove a huge amount, but in any case it's not clear what's being counted there. Are those lack of form annulments? On what grounds were those thousands of annulments given?
.
The problem here is that now a person can go into a Novus Ordo church and say "I didn't intend to get married when I went through the ceremony," or "We are too incompatible in our temper", or "My husband is an alcoholic", or any one of the other things listed in that page from the church in Waco, and they will be told that their marriage was never valid. That is something that did not happen before Vatican 2. So, since the Church before Vatican 2 taught the truth, and what the Vatican 2 church teaches now is false, it follows that in any contradiction between those two things we must conclude that the traditional teaching is correct.

Annulment is not a legal term in civil law.

.
Yes it is.

In not one state I know of is it possible to get a legal annulment.

Can you please read the link I just gave, or maybe just spend a couple of minutes on Google. I'm not sure what a statement like this contributes to this discussion.
