wayfarer,

You may be off on the topic of Catholic annulments. A quick Google search led me to a (albeit dated) Washington Post article which says:

"Almost half of Catholic marriages end in divorce, the same rate as for other Americans. Of those who applied in 1992 in the United States, according to Vatican statistics, 83 percent received annulments and 2 percent were denied. Fifteen percent of the cases were abandoned by the applicants."

Two people close to me were successfully granted an annulment, my ex-aunt (uncle could've if he'd wanted) and current brother-in-law, and I believe it's a doable process.

I have my own views on the concept, but don't believe it's as unattainable as you're describing.
