No. You have a comment from someone on this board that a canon lawyer said that. Not testimony.
And the canon lawyer, if indeed he said that, is wrong.
 
IF he said that? He did say that. IF you think everyone in the Tribunal is some saint of some kind you are sorely mistaken.
 
Mary, I can say many things, it doesn’t make them true. I see lawyer bragging in that statement
 
If a civil annulment is granted is it even more likely a church annulment will be as well?
 
Of course he’s bragging. In my PERSONAL opinion the Tribunal personnel have some power issues. However he did say he could and has annulled EVERY marriage he was ever involved with.

My only point is that in my opinion SOME or perhaps a FEW are a holier than thou bunch of lay and clergy lay persons.

As I said, you send your testimony off off and never met nor spoke with the Defender of the Bond.

words do not make a thing true. He can say anything he wants, did he provide verified and validated stats?

so then you know there is no truth in it. Its just some lawyer with either an inflated ego, or trying to instil confidence in his client, or trying to get a client or two

I’m curious—why would you expect/want to meet the Defender of the Bond?
 
I don’t know for sure what you are asking. So you think he lied about that statement?
 
If you felt he was bragging could you have gone to another for your own peace of mind?
 
does bragging mean the same thing in usa as it does in Australia.

Heres an example.

its fathers day here today. Many dads got fishing tackle.
Now my bro in law posts photos of all the snapper he catches. Then talks about the big one that got away! It was this big! huge! snapped the line, ate the new rod, bit a big chunk out of the boat…

you get the picture, he is exaggerating about the snapper that got away. he was bragging.
 
someone is bragging they saw a white crocodile. sky news is about to cover that story,

oops thats to greenfields

Because I would like to have the opportunity to meet those involved in the process instead of just give an oral or written Testimony and send it off to people who do not know me.

Julian, it may just be me but I want to meet the people that have the power to decide whether or not my marriage is valid and answer questions in their minds they may have about my marriage.

You spend one hour giving an oral testimony to the Tribunal or send off what most say is 50 at least pages of testimony to a bunch of Tribunal priests who have never been married nor met you to decide your future.
 
He may believe it to be true because he hadn’t had a petition denied yet. Which I doubt is due to anything on his part. But it doesn’t follow that he can guarantee that result—he’s wrong if he thinks so.
 
? …The tribunal process in my heart is nothing to joke about and I find your post uncaring and rude.
 
mary how is telling you that your lawyer in my opinion is bragging , anything to judge as uncaring and rude.

I am deeply offended you think I am joking about the tribunal process, I am not

however your lawyer did not say he can annul any case.

He said he believed every case was able to be annulled.

If they have questions, they sometimes request such a meeting. If they don’t, it means the testimony is complete and clear.

But I’m not sure a meeting will make you feel better—they will still essentially be strangers.
As an aside, though, the judges are not always priests, unmarried, or male.
 
I have to admit my own human sinfulness. My priest was hesitant to submit the paper work to the Tribunal because he thought my marriage was valid. In reality it is TONS of work to get a full Catholic annulment .

I loved meeting him because I did want my marriage declared invalid which is was.

My quick " commercial" to any Catholic.

No matter what any priest or Tribunal person says about the validity of your marriage

YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT as a Catholic to file for an annulment.
