My statement "with annulments, the Church does dissolve marriages; while pretending it's not" stands unchallenged, certainly unchallenged by you.

A significant problem I have with the institutional Church is its dishonesty in some things. With annulments, it is pretending not to dissolve marriages, while in actuality doing exactly that. (Henry VIII's sister Margaret got an annulment on grounds she knew were false, and would not stand up to any scrutiny. But, unlike my son, she would lie to get out of her marriage.)  JPII declared that both Edith Stein and Maximilian Kolbe were to be canonized as martyrs, even though neither one met the criteria for martyrdom. The magisterium claims to teach objective and eternal truth, and pretends it does not change its teachings. The institution clams not to see women as inferior to men, which is a blatant and obvious lie. The CCC says homosexuals are not to be discriminated against, while firing gays who marry.
