As i understand the USA leads the world in annulments some 63%,and i never thought I would have to use it!
I thought a civil dissolution was a pain,it is nothing compared to system that the Church has in place.Except the money and a civil is insane!?
I was able to download the forms and Wow are they deep in digging information about everything in our past.
a couple of examples:
Childhood and Adolescences-discribe your family life when you were a child,include memories of pre-school and school years,quality of the relationship with your parents.What was your parents marriage like,was there abuse,divorce, mental illness.that is just a sample of the questions.
Courtship and Engagement-this has 18 deep probing interrogatives and in my case ours didn't even happen across the board.She was pregnant after knowing her a month?
Wedding-another 9 interrogatives that we did not do any!she was 6 monthes pregnant in the wedding :shocked: I never had a clue at that time there was so much to marriage.
Separation and Divorce-That's a real hot potato,i have plenty to say and it it falls in the canon 1095.2-3
After wrestling around for years about this,and wondering if it was even possible I have found that I have so much disorder and at the time of marriage.That I have become convinced that this marriage has so much lacking,in so many ways it's a wonder it lasted as long as it did?
After starting this I have come to realize that Fr.Flood was correct to allow her to separate,that I have held contempt for this priest for the past several years, and have had to change my position.
