Both Robert Kennedy Jr. and his brother Josephy Kennedy received annulments It took little time for them to be granted .Brother Joe's annulment was later reversed. This is to the the courageous ex wife Sheila. She fought strongly against the annulment and won, There were no impediments to this marriage and thankfully Rome sided with Sheila. Princess Caroline received one also, as did John Kerry. How many other Catholics who divorced because of abuse, philandering mates, etc. are never granted one.

Roman Catholic AnswerAnyone whose marriage was invalid can get an annulment. And anyone whose marriage is valid will not get an annulment regardless of their social or financial status. An annulment is based SOLELY on what occurred prior to the marriage, and the actual wedding. ANYTHING that happens after the wedding (except non-consumation) is meaningless as regards an annulment. An annulment is a judgment that the wedding that took place did not fulfill the canonical requirements for a Church sacrament and that no SACRAMENTAL marriage ever took place - that is all it is, it is not a degree of divorce, and abuse, philandering mates, etc. have nothing whatsoever to do with it. The best example of this would be King Henry VIII of England who basically owned a whole country and was rather wealthy. He was denied an annulment for the very good reason that his marriage was valid. Also, a Church annulment can only be applied for if a civil divorce has already been granted - so the civil marriage must already be dissolved.

How did closing down the monasteries make Henry VIII more powerful?

Weakning the catholic church as a primary influence, giving rise to the church of England as the primary religion.Anglican Catholic Answer!The poor were the ones who lost most from the closing down of the monasteries! The rich, the Merchants ,Gentry and Nobility, Catholics or other wise, were the ones who got rich, fantastically so. A quarter of English wealth being put out in the market as it were, how could they go wrong and it wasn't only land!IN effect Henry had bought the rich, Catholics and Protestants alike.Henry didn't weaken the Catholic Church unduly, for 300 yrs it had been in a turmoil, regarding the papacy, what Henry did was to shake the Roman Church by taking the side of the followers of the ancient catholic ways, by supporting the canons of the Ecumenical Councils. It has to be grasped that the idea of the Holy Roman Church is of very recent origin, the Holy Catholic Church is something else indeed!
