From Pittsburgh-When Rae O’Hair sought an annulment of her first marriage from the Catholic Church more than a decade ago, it took her more than a year to complete the accompanying questionnaire.
The questions were personal and emotionally fraught. “I gave them a lot of thought,” said Ms. O’Hair of Edgewood. “I felt I could only do a few at a time.”
She eventually did receive the annulment. But her second husband, who has since died, applied twice for an annulment of his previous marriage and was denied twice. So they married in an Episcopal church.
Ms. O’Hair still attends a Catholic church, but she applauded the news Tuesday that Pope Francis has streamlined the annulment process.
