Today’s “progressiveness” sounds so much like “regression” to base animal desire. Such things destroyed civilization in the past. And who made “progressives” so much more “enlightened” than the rests of us. When I talk to the older generations they say that when the women started to make incomes for themselves because of war and the man was unimportant. The murders and such started as we have today.

I can understand the argument that the recent annulment reform may be seen by many as progressive. I’m just having problems understanding how women in the workforce had anything to with it…or murders.

I don’t think they’ll ever allow such a thing will they? I don’t see how they can change a sacrament like marriage like that.

No. Or I don’t think so and never thought it was a point of serious consideration (with a few exceptions that were perhaps not taken seriously). It was always about helping Catholics in this situation to return to the sacraments, I thought.

Of course, in some dioceses it’s basically “Catholic Divorce” and they’ll rubber stamp any request that comes up.

Saying the US is great because we process more documents is like saying that Texas has a better death penalty program because they more quickly process people.

You obviously, have never been through the annulment process.
 
ARSpade said:
So you never actually submitted to the church to have an annulment reviewed?

We’ve got priests preaching heresies all the time, to say nothing of not really knowing proper processes and such. You shouldn’t have just listened to the local priest. Plus, must RCIA’s are pretty terrible at actually teaching the Catholic faith.

You didn’t need real annulment reform, what you needed was to not listen to one guy and actually use the process as it exists.

I submitted it to the parish priest and he is the one who told me this. I also didn’t have the $200.00 to start the process.

Here’s what an 85 year old woman told me. I am sure these changes as I am about to mention has had something to do with changes over the years. How much and what all else is involved I do not know.

She said when the war began, WW2 that is. Women were called into the work place to help with things. The men where overseas. This marked women entering into the work place. That in and of itself may be no problem. But men because “no longer needed” in a sense. She said as she remembers, that’s when murder and crime rates began rising.

This is her opinion too. Makes some sense anyway.
