Under what conditions does the Church grant a marriage annulment?
.Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only one condition under which the Church would grant an annulment for a marriage and that is when the marriage is invalid. A marriage might be invalid for several reasons - the most open and shut case would be lack of form: a Catholic who did not get married before a priest, as he or she is required to do. If one of the persons in the marriage had some kind of handicap that would prevent them giving full consent to a lifelong marriage that is open to life - that would also invalidate a marriage. There are several conditions that must be met for a valid marriage to take place: both persons entering into the marriage must be free to marry: of age, and single. They must freely consent to a lifelong commitment that is open to life (not intending to use birth control), and have no mental or emotional handicaps that would impair an adult, lifelong commitment. If any necessary condition is absent, a case can be made for the marriage being invalid.
How did Henry VIII attack the church in 1530?

What religion did an English king invent?

Why the Henry VIII want parliament to dissolve England's ties to the catholic church?
Pope Clement VII refused to grant Henry an annulment of his marriage.Henry wanted a male heir.Henry wanted a different wife.Catholic AnswerIt started out for purely political reasons, as mentioned above. The Pope ruled that the King was validly married to Catherine of Aagorn and could not get an annulment (a decree that no valid marriage ever existed) and Henry wanted to marry again to get a male heir, he already had a daughter. So Henry made parliament the "head" of the "church" in England so that they could grant him an annulment.
Why if a child is born during the marriage or is about to be born does that makes it difficult for the granting of an annulment?
In the Roman Catholic Church it doesn't matter: whether or not a child is conceived or born has no bearing whatsoever on an annulment. An annulment is a internal church decree that a marriage never actually took place due to an impediment. To grant an annulment the Church only looks at what occurred up to and during the actual "marriage" ceremony to see if it was valid. Anything that occurs after that point would have no relevance at all.Answer and ClarificationIt should be understood that in the United States marriage is a civil legal status and clergy, among many other minor and major officials including any person who obtains a one day permit, are allowed to solemnize the marriage or perform the ceremony. The couple must obtain a civil marriage license or the marriage is not valid.Accordingly, a religious annulment of a marriage must be accompanied by a civil divorce decree or the couple remains legally married. And, Catholic annulments make no provisions for the custody or support of the children. They are more geared toward allowing a favored parishioner to get married in the church again even when they were married in the church and children were born of the first marriage. Remarriage is not normally allowed by church law unless the first spouse has died. But it is correct that a twenty year marriage and six children would not be an impediment to annulment in the church under certain circumstances. However, Catholic annulments are not the only game in town. Many couples obtain civil annulments and if successful a divorce procedure is not necessary in order to dissolve the marriage legally. Civil annulments address parental responsibilities and custody when there are children involved. They also make a division of the property.Laws regarding civil annulment vary from state to state. Some states do not allow annulment if there are children born of the marriage. That makes sense because the couple can dissolve the marriage by a divorce proceeding. Every state has statutory reasons why a court can declare a marriage null and void. The court in states that allow civil annulment with children may look more closely at those reasons if there were children born of the marriage since declaring a marriage null and void may have some emotional or social effect on the children. If there are children involved, the annulment does not make them "illegitimate" and the court will issue custody and child support orders.
