The Catholic Church declares/determines tens of thousands of marriages are invalid each year in America.  What criteria do they use to issue these annulments? If so many marriages are invalid, how can a Catholic know they're married when they say "I do?"  I respond to Mark Gurtner's excellent presentation at the University of Saint Francis ( @usfuts404 ) of the Catholic Church's doctrine on annulments.  He is a professor at Notre Dame and a Vicar General in Indiana ( Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend @dioceseoffortwayne-southbe5636 ). He knows this area of Catholic teaching in theory, but he is also intimately familiar with the practice of declaring marriages null.  So much so, that he, in a moment of vulnerability, says it sometimes keeps him up at night.  While I respect the intellectual history and work that has gone into the Catholic teaching on marriage, in this episode, I express my disagreement where I find it deviates from Scripture.
