Annulment: Your Chance to Remarry Within the Catholic Church: A Step-by-Step Guide Using the New Code of Canon Law

I have this book but I have yet to read it. Re-marriage is not in my immediate future; but it is good to know that it IS possible

Was exactly what I needed to begin my annulment process. Thank you for the clarity of what to expect. My annulment has been approved and life is moving ahead very smoothly now.

This is a great book for people wanting to understand the annulment process. It clearly explains the grounds for annulment and how to proceed with the filing process. Every divorced Catholic could use this book!

Great presentation and explanation about who to contact and what the procedure is along with what is expecting of all of those involved.

After my annulment was granted I gave it to a friend going through the same thing. Very helpful book.

This book is an excellent example of why food is not the only thing that should be marked with "sell by" dates. In 1983 when this book was written, the New Code of Canon Law of 1983 had just been promulgated. There was no background of interpretation of it. The author here had a clear road in that he could not be faulted for misinterpretation since no one yet knew what the authentic interpretation would be. The author is not a canon lawyer. He gives a civil attorney's perspective on Catholic Church annulments and that is very much like mixing apples and elephants. As both a civil and canon lawyer, I find his dicussion of the internal forum to be dangerous. He has no degree in theology and that would be a minimum for attempting to enter into that discussion at this level of assumed authority. He knows not of what he speaks. If you are looking for a book that will help you now through an annulment process, this is not the book for you to read. It can give you a historical perspective or thought on the process, but it is not what it entitles , a "step-by-step guide". This book should be taken off the shelves immediately.

This book does an excellent job of explaining the annulment process to laymen. I find it very helpful

I FOUND THIS TO BE A HELPFUL BOOK FOR ALL THE PROCESS INFORMATION. A HELPFUL REFERENCE. IT CLARIFIES MANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS WELL. IT IS AIMED MAINLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE REMARRIED OUTSIDE THE CHURCH WITHOUT HAVING HAD THEIR PREVIOUS MARRIAGE VOWS DISOLVED. HOWEVER FOR THOSE WHO ARE WISHING TO BE GRANTED RELEASE FROM DISFUNCTIONAL MARRIAGES THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH CLARIFICATION AS TO WHAT REALLY IS OR IS NOT A MARRIAGE IN GOD'S EYES.
