Is alcohol addiction before marriage grounds for anullment

Thank you Father Scott. I needed this. 🙏🏼

The annulment abuse crisis scandal is responsible for so many damnations. Our Lady told us that "Many marriages are not good and are not of God." The people who will be in the deeper part of hell are the members of the tribunals and the bishops responsible for all the annulments. There are only four things that have to go wrong to make a annulment valid and they don't. Almost never. During the sexual revolution annulments climbed over 14,000% and many annulled and remarried people are going to burn unless they return to their spouse.

An annulment costs way too much. I remarried a man who was married twice before civilly. A pries5 said we would need to get 3 annulments! Impossible to afford. I was married the second time for 46 years and my husband of 46 years just passed away. Can I take Communion now? Am I excommunicated from the Church because I got remarried. I was 17 when I got married in the Church( big mistake)and got separated at19 years old. Got divorced legally when I was 23. Got remarried when I was 30 and that lasted until his death.

Thank you, Fr. Scott! You have so much wisdom to share. God bless you.

Perfect timing. I so needed this bit of wisdom and understanding. Thank you Father Scott this really helps ease our transitions through the changes on our journey.

🤍

Oh Father Scott, thank you so much . Have a great week.

Father Scott, your talks bring me consolation!

Very enlightening! Thank you father.

Thank you, Fr. Scott! You're sharing is a comfort!

Very enlightening words for discernment!

Fr. Scott, your instruction in the commandments is so needed in my life. This video helps me understand the 2nd commandment more thoroughly. God bless you for your help. Amen!

Thank you, Father. Wow. This is eye opening for me… I thought I’m an honest person as well until I heard from you. Oh my God, I’m sorry for my sins with all my heart… in choosing to do wrong and failing to do good….🍂🍁🍃

Thank you so much Father. I always enjoy your insights. I hope some day to actually meet you.

Thank you, Fr. Scott. I so needed to hear this message!

Father I love your homilies!!!

Thank you father Scott! youve been a god send literally for me and my murdered children.

Thank you Father for sharing this with us. This has made me stop and pay more attention to what I say and what I am projecting. Something I have never done. I just never occurred to me. Thank you for this very important lesson.

I always enjoy our honest conversations. It’s very liberating. Thank you as always, friend. 🤍

How important it is to tell the truth!! Thank you Father for sharing what some people think, feel and do. Our presence only matters when shared in confidence and truth. ❤

"We think we know better than others how they should live their lives..." Ouch!!-- been there, done that!! 😳😬💦 Loved the story about the caregiver who liked having patients that accepted her direction-- how good of her to share that embarrassing realization!! Thanks as ever, Father-- a very helpful reflection. 👍👏💪🙏😊

That’s really well said and im happy you didn’t go in the direction of saying being/identifying with lgbt as a sin. Pride is about overconfidence. You think you can do something but because of your pride you couldn’t

Oh wow what a real lesson. Thank you Father Scott

The Catechism of The Catholic Church states: 1629 For this reason (or for other reasons that render the marriage null and void) the Church, after an examination of the situation by the competent ecclesiastical tribunal, can declare the nullity of a marriage, i.e., that the marriage never existed. 132 In this case the contracting parties are free to marry, provided the natural obligations of a previous union are discharged.

Oh Fr. Scott, thank you so much for your message. God bless you.

I struggle with resentment and pray to somehow overcome 🙏

Thank you Father Scott so helpful amen

JESUS SAID TRUE DIVORCE IS VALID ON GROUNDS OF ADULTERY BUT SOME POPE OR WHOEVER THOUGHT THEY KNEW BETTER THAN HIM AND SO AN ANNULMENT CANNOT BE MADE ON GROUNDS OF ADULTERY IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The is utter bs and totally non biblical “law”.

Thanks

Thanks. Even my newly deceased cousin John Trippe died Sunday is still in my circle.

I wish all archdiocese thought like Fr Scott. I'm Going thru an annulment right now. and it's focusing not on the unholiness of the 25-yr marriage (in 1986 btw) and what happened during it (narcissistic abuse, lies, evil, etc); but rather on my state of mind at time 0 !!! (that's the canon law citation) --- absurd! This is an unholy phariseic practice. It hurts people, not helps. In fact, for this very reason alone, I'm looking into converting to Eastern orthodoxy (already went to 2 Divine Liturgies) since their view and support of marriage (and sin and confession and a lot more) is much healthier. During my annulment interview, I strongly felt there was a high degree of vicarious enjoyment in her detailed questions of my "courtships" before marriage (I was loyal in it) etc--right, a few months' spin---a "courtship'? Flawed assumption. I arguably wasn't even truly Catholic at the altar (time 0), or even truly Christian! The annulment process is unholy. It never existed in the early church as I can tell. BTW--if I don't get an annulment (and even if I do), I am converting most likely. I can't be part of a church doing what Jesus himself criticized the pharisees for...over and over again....adhering slavishly to the law instead of love. In an annulment, there is no mercy; there is no love; there is no understanding (priests never marry!); and there is no forgiveness. And to me, that spells UNHOLY.

Thank you

How heartbreaking that even a priest who promises to bring the Eucharist to a sick person forgets. There is so much preaching about this subject from the leadership. But how can the laity respect the truth of the real presence if their own priest neglects to bring the body of Christ to a person suffering illness. This is a small parish in a small town.

This is so helpful!

I was divorced and married a divorced (protestant). After I obtained an annulment from my first marriage and we wanted to marry, no one could find my husband’s first wife’s death certificate. My mother in law knew she had died of cancer but we could find no proof. We now live chaste as brother and sister, sleeping in separate bedroom and accept will of God. It is so wonderful to be able to receive the sacraments again and worth the sacrifice.

Amen

Amen

Shout out from the new Las Vegas arch diocese 😊 Fr. Are you a Roman Catholic? I am divorced with 3 children 8 grandkids another due in June. This yr we my children and i have celebrated 2/ first communion one baptism this June for new grandchild. One confirmation of my latest daughter-in-law. All my children were married in the church and are practicing Catholics along with my grandchildren.. After my divorce i did research on my own, after consulting with my bishop. I come to the realization that annulment would be impossible. I was not forced to marry I was not on drugs. I was not insane. The result of our marriage was three wonderful children marriage was consummated. I was 21 my wife was 18. There is an obstacle for our marriage. My wife had a affair with a married man . Broke up our home in order to remarry. I could not receive an annulment because of the reasons stated earlier . The circumstances Made me closer to God and to his holy church. When we accept our fate We receive peace. When we struggle against it, we suffer. Through this journey, I learned how to be a better Catholic . I provided a great example to my children of what the meaning of marriages. Sometimes things don’t always work out like we planned. The promise that Jesus gave us is true he will be by your side always. I ask my youngest son about his difficult relationship with his biological mother. He said Holy Mary is his real mother and she is always there for me. The way i understand catholicism is are duty as a Catholic is to take something bad and make it good and holy.

My wife will be sad to hear your absurd thoughts.

Love father Joe

What a special concept to share! So many ways to apply what practice means…great examples! I think the best is Stravinsky’s message… maybe not mastering but always trying!!! Apply this to faith…our catholic beliefs… so positive!! Give it a try!!!! God bless always! Thank you Fr. Scott!!!!

Mary Jane is a role model for many of us. 🙏

Amen

Where else? Thanks for the reply.
