 Rating:  - The world's strangest definition of legitimacyThis book was published by the Paulist Press and has a Nihil Obstat, so in theory it should be an accurate presentation of the issues. However, on pages 185-186, on Q. 97, Do declarations of nullity render children illegitimate (not, by the way, included in the index, which refers only to p. 97 for legitimacy and has no entry for illegitimacy at all), it reads: "Second, the misappropriation of the term _illegitimate_ indicates a misunderstanding of legitimacy. _Legitimacy_ ...

I have met with over 1000 petitioners who really don't understand the annulment process. All they understand is that they would like to enter into a new marriage and they want to be able to "make it right with the church."

People who are granted annulments are given a whole new lease on life, but for those who are denied an annulment, the news can be devastating. For Catholics, an annulment means that a sacramental marriage never took place. The most common reaction to this is "I went to the wedding, what do you mean a marriage never took place?" People begin to wonder if an annulment means that children from such unions are illegitimate ... Read More Rating: - This book is user-friendly, rich in concept and practicalityThis book is a user-friendly one. The question and answer format is used to its highest possiblity. It deals with all of those questions we never bothered to ask our high school religion nun or college theologian, and now wish we had. As both a civil and a canon lawyer dealing in divorce and annulments, I cannot think of one question not asked asked and answered here. The index makes it even easier to navigate the concepts explored. The result is a book that explains the concepts but also tells you ... Read More |
