Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.
I would keep touching base w/ them.. My friend was playing the waiting game for a while and she kept calling and then finally they helped her out. Just explain the situation again saying you have to know soon so you can get everything else done..
cindy can you get married in a different diocese?

I am sure you must feel frustrated. You have come this far in the process, it would be a shame to give up now. I guess this is why they say you shouldn't plan anything until you get the results of the tribunal.
The annulment process really has nothing to do with the state of the Catholic church and is not something that can be changed just to make it easy for people. The sacrament of marriage is taken very seriously in the RC church. Sacraments don't change just because of current social conditions and I don't see how keeping with the churches 2000 year tradition is pushing people away. For those who don't agree or don't wish to follow it, they are free to go elsewhere.
Hang in there, if it is important to you and your FI, it will be worth it in the long run.![]()

We all know where you stand but the problem with keeping a 2000 year tradition is just that, it is 2000 years old!!!!!......I think, personally, the church needs to change with the times to keep people interested and wanting to go.

They have all these stupid rules. During a preliminary meeting, they asked me if I have ever had any counseling within the last 10 yrs. I said I did b/c I have suffered from panic and anxiety attacks since I was 8, so I go off and on but not regularly. They told me I couldnt get married in the church unless I let the Diocese contact my counselor who than had to write a letter stating I was not only able to be married, but I had the mental capacity to enter into a marriage. I wasn't going to get married in the church after that b/c I thought it was ********. I knew it would make my grandmother happy so against my usual stubborness I agreed to it. I felt like asking if the priests that molest the boys receive counseling or if they get evaluated before they enter the priesthood.
Supposably the reason they are so 'tough' now is b/c of all the anullments and divorces. But my thought is that there are plenty people out there that need counseling, that dont get it. And just b/c people dont go to counseling and don't have 'problems' as they classify it, doesnt mean there marriage is going to last or be any better than mine.

There is no need to call me out specifically - am I not entitled to my opinion also? State your opinion and move on, no need to attack me personally.

OK Ladies....
Isn't it RELIGION a taboo conversation for all social events? We all know why!!!!![]()

Nobody is all going to agree on the subject. We all have different beliefs.
Let's try to agree that we can disagree and not insult each other!!!!
Sorry Cindy!!!!!... good luck on your process. Hopefully, it will be all cleared out soon for you. You are more brave than me on this one. I did not feel I wanted to deal with that part.
Definitely try to talk to them and ask them to accomodate you. The rules are strict and are there for a reason, but the priests also have an obligation to help people who want to get married. Just keep asking and asking until someone will help you. There's no reason why they can't let you double up and do what you need to do to keep your date!
I understand. No easy being 2nd timers, right????
Can you tell me how to get in touch with Father Joe?
