Dear Administrator,
I apologise to ZoeTheodora if I have been insulting to her at any time!
I guess the heat of discussion can bring one to say things that, on second reflection, can be deemed to be offensive.
My only point is that ecclesial praxis, in this case, the granting of thousands of annulments by Catholic bishops, is also part of the overall picture of the Catholic theology of marriage.
If I am wrong in saying this, and if I can be shown to be wrong, I will withdraw what would then be obstinate opinion.
I suppose I was also coming to the defence of Orthodoxy in this regard against what I perceived to be "holier than thou" attitudes by triumphalist Latin Catholics - as I understand them.
Alex
