Annulment Not ‘Catholic Divorce’

Wednesday 25 July 2007 @ 8:31 pm

It is important to understand that, just as God instituted marriage, so He created it to be a very specific institution. Marriage is a total self-donation of two persons. It is permanent, faithful and open to God’s gift of new life. If two people are standing up on the altar committing to something else, some alternative definition of marriage they’ve created in their heads, then what is happening that day is not a sacramental marriage. Likewise if they are not mature or emotionally healthy enough to understand that to which they are committing, or if one party or the other is withholding information that is “material” to the marriage decision, then we have reason to believe that no sacramental union is actually taking place.
