		Annulments and the Catholic Church: Straight Answers to Tough Questions by Edward Peters & J.D. & J.C.D. Jimmy Akin, Director of Apologetics and Evangelization, Catholic Answers This is the 'must-read' book on annulments. It is the best book on the subject, bar none. Few topics in the Catholic Church are more misunderstood than annulments. To some, both Catholics and non-Catholics alike, it is synonymous with Catholic divorce. Written in everday language, Annulments and the Catholic Church is an invaluable resource for lay people who want to understand this challenging issue and pastoral leaders who need to offer guidance on questions of theology and canon law. This book addresses the most common questions people have about annulments, including: How is an annulment different from a divorce? Are there too many annulments granted today? Does the length of a marriage affect an annulment case? How do people begin the annulment process? Does a wedding between a Catholic and a non-Catholic require an annulment? Is alcoholism or physical abuse grounds for an annulment? About the Author Dr. Edward N.

He has held a number of teaching and administrative posts, including Director of the Office for Canonical Affairs for the Diocese of San Diego as well as Defender of the Bond and collegiate judge on diocesan and archdiocesan appellate tribunals.
