Although, I will admit I'm going to enjoy peeing on Bush's grave when he dies from natural causes.

A real, Catholic annulment involves filling out a LOT of forms and sending them to Rome and getting the OK from the pope. Seriously, the pope.
(Well, probably a minion, but the official letter is on his stationery. For Nicole Kidman, he might have taken it on himself - those forms must have made for interesting reading.)
There's a short cut if you're a Catholic who married a non-Catholic in a non-Catholic ceremony, but it still takes hella long time.


The oddest part about a Catholic annulment is that it doesn't mean that the church recognizes that you are no longer married - it means that in the eyes of the church you never WERE married. It NEVER HAPPENED.


Because the church is really good at ignoring and denying stuff that happened in the past.
