<p>The Church & the priest didn’t consider it a “silly paper” I’m quite sure. And why would forcing a divorce on a woman against her will be worse than an annulment? There are FAR more implications, ( legal, social, financial, etc.) from a divorce than from an annulment. And what if the woman is seeking the annulment, perhaps because she was essentially forced into the marriage because of a pregnancy? Would you object to the man having something being done to him against his will? I’m sensing some contempt for the Catholic Church in your posts.</p>
