The Catholic Church's controversial annulment of the marriage between US Rep Joseph P. Kennedy II and Sheila Rauch Kennedy has been criticized by the mass media and by Sheila Kennedy herself, who has written a book blaming the church for her misfortune. Her criticisms, while moving, are largely unjustified. The church handled the case rigorously and its tribunal ruled correctly, nullifying the marriage on the legitimate grounds that its participants betrayed a grave lack of discretion by entering into it. It was not the church, but Sheila Kennedy's trust in an imperfect man that brought her tragedy.

Q: My partner is divorced. He was not Catholic at the time of his first marriage but his spouse was, and their wedding was performed by a priest in church. During the marriage, he converted to Catholicism. We're both currently practicing Catholics and hope to marry one day. Is it possible for us to be married in a Catholic church and continue receiving the sacraments? This would be the first marriage for me, and our faith is important to both of us. - T., from Ohio, via godsquadquestion@aol.com. A: My priest advisors confirmed that you are indeed a Kosher Catholic (well, they didn't exactly say it that way). There are no obstacles to you receiving the sacraments and being married in a Catholic church. Your partner, however, will need an annulment of his first marriage to be married in t...
CAMDEN - On the eve of his installation as bishop, the incoming leader of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden declared that he would not serve Holy Communion to Governor McGreevey. The Most Rev. Joseph Galante said Thursday that he was taking the stance primarily because the divorced governor, who is Catholic, remarried without receiving a church annulment.

The priest shortage, and whether celibacy contributes to it, as well as dwindling Mass attendance also are expected to be discussed at the three-week Synod of Bishops, during which bishops will offer recommendations to Pope Benedict XVI on running the church.

This Essay explores a type of legal pluralism found in secular societies, including the United States, in which minority groups adhere to unofficial religious law norms within a larger framework of state family law. Official and unofficial law are sometimes closely interwoven, as with the formalization of marriage, and sometimes stand directly in opposition, as with laws prohibiting the practice of polygamy. In an intermediate position, these societies have seen a complex interaction between secular and religious law in the context of marriage dissolution. The different opportunities presented by each legal system may generate significant strategic behavior by individuals, and these risks have prompted careful collaboration between religious and secular authorities in a number of jurisd...
