This vexes me. I am terribly vexed.

If you like John Kerry I'd expect you to learn about him, how he married a rich girl, left her when she had depression, and even tried to have the marriage annulled despite having 2 children with her while he moved on the next even richer widow.
See, Kerry is Catholic. If you have much experience with the Catholic church you would know how intensely they frown upon divorce.
You are made a pariah if you divorce and then remarry in the Catholic Church. You are not permitted to hold any positions of importance with the church, not Usher, not fundraiser. You are not allowed to receive communion and your marriage is not recognized by the church whatsoever.

A Catholic who wishes to remain an active part of his church must get an annulment before they allow him to get married again.

I am saddened by your lack of intellectual effort in this matter. You have the temerity to bring up him wanting an annulment, but you fail to inform us what happens to a practicing Catholic if he does not get one before he gets married. That is an important part of the issue that you leave out.
The way you phrased it, you make him look like a monster who wants only to hurt the woman who fathered his first two children.
But maybe that was your intent. I really didn't expect much from you. But I always have hope.
