Actually ssa is not grounds.

Not telling a fiance you have those attractions, even though you have not acted on them and intend to be faithful is.
 
Ideally… Yet they require the civil union to be divorced in order to review the case.
 
you don’t know that he did not act on them or that he remained faithful btw

but you are right, @rcwitness he didn’t tell her and therefore she has grounds because she would not have married him if she had known prior

Right—and this quality that would have voided her consent is still present.
 
As the child whose parents had a “bad” marriage, I don’t buy the whole “think of the children” argument. Sometimes it’s better to separate and the children will benefit from it
 
As a parent whose children have thanked me profusely for getting all of us out, agreed!
 
Sometimes, but that doesn’t matter to the Tribunal and select parts of the Canon. Just whether one grounds can be applied.
 
Right, I was replying to your anti-divorce and pro-reconciliation argument you posted before. And the family first comment you made too. Sometimes putting the children first means divorcing and not reconciling.

@Rcwitness I understand you distrust the tribunals. The point is here: there are grounds. It’s up to her.

The gospel does not call us to suffer needlessly. We suffer because that’s life, but we don’t need to stay in a position where we suffer if it’s causing harm to our children. Doing so would be imprudent.
 
Yes, I never said to needlessly keep our children in a harmful situation.

Mine are in one. Yet the Church doesn’t do a thing about it.
 
if your children are in a position where they have been harmed or are being harmed, then get a lawyer and petition the courts. i’m sorry. but the church isn’t responsible for the well-being of your children, parents are.

Friend, you need to stop making everything about your grievance with the way the priest is handling your ex-wife. The resentment is seeping out of your pores. If you’re not careful you’re going to be consumed by it.
 
what are you talking about? how are your children being harmed, exactly? by adultery?

Let’s not go there. I get lured into this stuff, and I’m too disappointed in many people involved.

This is about the couple facing their own problems.
 
what? ok but you brought it up.

if your children are legitimately being harmed then petition the courts and plead your case. if you’re just bummed about an ex committing adultery then they aren’t really being harmed.
 
They sure are. It’s a horrible example. It’s hurting them more than you know.
 
yeah, it’s tough but that’s life. I thought they were legitimately being harmed. all you can do is do your best to show them your example then. i’ll pray for you, @rcwitness
