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?

VATICAN CITY -- While acknowledging the acute shortage of priests in the Roman Catholic Church, bishops from around the world reaffirmed the church's stance on celibacy for priests Saturday in a set of 50 recommendations they agreed to submit to Pope Benedict XVI. The proposals, meant for the pope to consider in a future document on the Eucharist, also dealt with whether Communion should be denied to Catholic politicians who support laws that contradict church teaching, such as the right to abortion, as well as the plight of Catholics who divorce and remarry without getting an annulment.

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...
