Sunday Sermon, February 15 -- Explaining and Defending the Annulment Process

 In this sermon, we consider divorce, annulments and remarriage - based on the words of our Lord which give the Biblical foundation for annulments, "Whoever divorces his wife - unless the marriage is unlawful - causes his wife to commit adultery."


We discuss how those who have been divorced can come to full practice within the Catholic Church, and also defend annulments as not being mere "Catholic divorce".  We also discuss why there are so many more annulments now than there were before Vatican II - and see that the Canon Law of the Church is good and just.
