 Not that it hasn't been simply charming...

See, not being a Catholic, I do not know these things and I didn't know that Brittney was Catholic.  Seems to me that friend's husband who had been divorced and was trying to get remarried in the Catholic church had to really jump threw hoops to get previous marriage annulled "in the eyes of the church."
 
 Or is it all out the window now that the Catholic church is all messed up?
 
 |  Well, Atticus is curiously silent, but I think the critical difference is that an annulment doesn't count as far as the church is concerned.  It's like it never happened.  Which matters, since you can't get divorced.  
 
So, since it's annulled, she has no 'splaining to do.  Of course, if she got married in the little white chapel, it's not really a valid catholic wedding anyway, so she's still free to marry for the first time there.  
 
but she has to say 50 hail marys first.  and quit using birth control. |
