Does the annulment process make it too easy for people to remarry?
Nothing in what you have read so far should lead you to believe that the annulment process is “easy” or that the Catholic Church treats a marriage investigation or declaration of invalidity lightly. In addition to what has already been discussed, any time a tribunal issues a declaration of nullity, the decision is automatically appealed by the Church and the decision must be upheld on appeal in order for the persons to be free to remarry. The regular Court of Appeals for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis is in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana.
