Wow. Are there any reasons one can't get an annulment? I think they covered every possible reason for a relationship ending... Frankly, it sounds like annulment is simply the Catholic word for divorce, and just as easily accessible. I never knew that.
Pretty much. There are a number of Catholics who say exactly the same thing, and are up in arms about it as a defilement of the faith. The USA has 6% of the world's Catholics, and 75% of the world's annulments.
There was a billboard up in Toronto a while ago basically accusing the Catholic Bishops of being responsible for murder, because they discourage using any kind of birth control/std protection. The billboard was paid for by a "concerned catholics" group or similar; they referred to "our" bishops.
