You don't know of one divorced Catholic who has received an annulment????  Please.  Come on, kag...then I would suggest you don't know any divorced Catholics who have openly and actively pursued an annulment.  That it takes time, honesty, commitment and patience is a given.  Do you not know anyone like that?  And the Pope is NOT advocating open Communion for all divorced and remarried without annulment...you may want to reread his comments.

As far as questioning how Ebe's comment got through?  It's not hard to figure out.  It was civil and merely pointed out that many of your comments are putdowns of others.  Was calling him a "nosey Nellie" mannered and civil?
