THE DECLARATION OF NULLITY AND DIVORCE – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

In the light of the present debate on whether divorce legislation should be introduced or not, the declaration of marriage nullity is widely misunderstood, both inside and outside the Church. In order to be able to enter into a mature debate, it is important to keep in mind the essential elements which regulate both the declaration of nullity and divorce.

The general public is cordially invited to join a discussion, during which Mgr Joseph Bajada, Judicial Vicar, Regional Tribunal of the Second Instance, will explain in detail the difference between declaration of nullity, annulment and divorce. This discussion will be held on Wednesday, 10^th November 2010, at Sala Mons Gonzi, Catholic Institute, Floriana, at 7pm.

This session is another in the series Zwieg B’Sahhtu, a project initiated by Cana Movement, in an effort to promote healthy marriage and family life.
