Nuggets from Occult Invasion

Sadly enough, some Catholics now file secret letters with their attorneys at the time of marriage, expressing doubts—just in case they later want an annulment. The “PrimeTime” television show of January 6, 1994 dealt with the issue of Catholic annulments. A Catholic priest, as guest, remembered hearing a Church canon lawyer tell him, “Charlie, there isn’t a Catholic marriage in the United States that we couldn’t annul.” A number of women guests told of their ex-husbands, after a divorce, seeking annulments so they could remarry in the Church: Barbara Zimmerman, married 27 years and mother of five children; Pat Cadigan married 23 years; Sheila Rauch Kennedy, married for 12 years to Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II (Bobby Kennedy’s eldest son) and mother of his twin sons. This is mockery and desecration of marriage yet Hybels had nothing but praise for the Catholic “commitment to the sacredness of matrimony.”
