Am I the only one that thinks it should be just the opposite, that an annulment should only be granted “every once in a while.”

Kolbe300, the culture of death has had a strong effect on marriages, too. I know that both my ex and I entered our teenage mistake believing that if things went wrong, we could just get a divorce. We both came from broken homes; that’s where we learned that bad idea.

After my conversion, the Church declared that attempt at marriage null.

With the current state of things, many Catholics are entering marriage with wrong reasons. If so many Catholics are contracepting, it’s obvious that they don’t know the real basis of marriage. Many are fornicating, too.

So it does not surprise me that most annulments are granted.

If there was universally excellent catechesis in the Church (including homilies), *and *all people were married without influence from modern culture, then I’d agree with you.

God save us!

**** Here I go again,I am not good at posting. Did a long one,and when I went to correct,I lost it.
My opinion,is: God gave Adam a woman,Eve. He did not give him the same sex. I have to say,homosexual marriage should be banned. Out of Love between a man and woman,we are to multiply,and conceive. That is the fruit of our love. God has asked this of us. — As for divorce,my parents were married 62 yrs. my husband and I are going on 39 yrs. and would not have it anyother way. Love is love. – Now divorce has a right to be,only as circumstances as perhaps abuse,where on or the other may commint in killing one or the other,or also as a couple I know,one of the partners,decides to be gay? This was a marriage by a priest and in our Catholic Church. Now,for sure in my opinion,it has to be annulled! As the one partner,had no idea this would happen,and left them in such a situation. There are many reasons,for divorce and many points in doing so. As I think God would know and understand,certain situations. Right? Madelena
 
“If civil divorce remains the only possible way of ensuring certain legal rights, the care of the children, or the protection of inheritance, it can be tolerated and does not constitute a moral offense,” CCC 2383. It is divorce with remarriage, not divorce itself, which the Catholic Church disallows.
 
The question asked of the OP is a red herring; divorce has virtually nothing to do with the notion of “homosexual marriage”.

It’s about the same as asking “If homosexual marriage should be banned in the name of the family unit, why not ban mean-ness between family members?”

I know too many people who have 2, sometimes 3, divorces under their belt. No-Fault Divorce has made it too easy to just quit. Any relationship requires work and a commitment.

Divorce should be rare.

I concur.

In my state we have no-fault divorce and automatic joint custody.
So a selfish person who wants out of a marriage, has NO consequences and full right to full joint custody.

If there were at least some consequence, there would be less divorce. Less broken families. Less poverty… Less promiscuity…The list goes on, and on, and on…
