Review: I found this book when I was searching for books about annulments and the process of having a marriage annuled. Easy-to-read, concise, and informative this is a good book to start with if this is a subject you're interested in, either for yourself or someone else.

This is an "Annulments for Dummies" guide, but written more intelligently and in a serious tone. It answered all my questions, dispelled some myths, and provided insight.

Prior to my experiences the concept of the "internal forum" would have been over my head, but the way Father Cantoir explains it, it makes total sense. The internal forum is a person's conscious and I was surprised to learn just how much value and trust the Church places on the individual. It's an interesting thing.

For anyone who takes a hard-nosed stance against the Church and feels the annulment process is simply a money-maker for the Church, they owe it to themselves to at least hear Father Cantoir out.
