Solution for divorced Catholics is already there

There just needs to be more attention paid to annulments 

Almost 20 years ago, I went through a form of marriage. Two years later, the province gave me a divorce, and less than a year after that, the Church granted me an annulment. Nine years later, I remarried — in St. Basil’s Roman Catholic Church — white dress, flowers and all. I am a divorced and remarried Catholic, but one who sought and received a decree of nullity. It has made all the difference. 

I don’t like talking about my divorce and annulment because it brings back some of the hurt of that painful time. Also, such conversations arouse strong emotions in others. People who work for Catholic institutions in continental Europe seem to get nervous when they review the preface to my Seraphic Singles and read that I was once divorced yet about to remarry. So far I have been grilled about my annulment by the apologetic secretary of an Italian bishop, a curious priest in Kraków and a fierce radio host in Warsaw. (The radio host, a young married woman, wanted to make sure I had already received it before I wrote Seraphic Singles.)
