Did it ever occur to anyone that a couple's intimate life is not another's business?

I don’t see how ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is grounds for annulment.  There were no social, physical or moral impediments to marry and they had children.  Another reason to avoid the new church - homos in hiding and lying priests.

The trouble is that it IS our business.
Our children have to work with, live next to, potentially marry and pay taxes to funded the welfare of such people.  Divorce has an ENORMOUS cost on society.  Into the trillions of dollars per year.
You could equally argue that the sɛҳuąƖ inclinations of a seminarian candidate are not anyone's business.  But history has shown otherwise.
We are not asking anyone to reveal identifying details or name anyone.  We are discussing what healthy, productive, normal and unhealthy look like in a marriage in order to, one, measure the problem and, two, try to give some understanding of how to reduce the risks for people considering marriage.

Are you referring to the aforementioned divorce-annulment or speaking about these things in general?

In general, I really don't see a problem with discussing a given problem, provided it is described without anyone's name attached to it or without any lurid details.

If it's about the annulment, I think it's useful to dissect these public scandals and to try to understand what went wrong, how to rectify it if possible, and what could prevent something like it from happening again.

There are homos in Tradland.  Every part of it.
If ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs are unsuitable to be priests, then how are they suitable to be husbands and fathers of children?
I would imagine, if it is grounds, it would be based on hiding a material fact from the spouse which is critical to the primary purpose of marriage.  Much like a man who lied about being a baptised Catholic got married on that basis and then later admitted he was a fraud.
Let's imagine a man was a convicted paedophile got out of jail and hid that from his future wife.  Surely that would be ground for an annulment.  He hoodwinked her.  As I understand it you cannot hoodwink a person into marriage.
