I dont want to sound harsh. I empathize with your struggle.
So you wanted to join the Church but you werent a believer. Marriage is a sacrament in the Catholic Church. We take the vows very seriously. Marriage isnt a social construct in the Church, it is a vow before God.
Vow - A solemn promise or assertion
Divorce doesnt exist. If you divorce and remarry, Catholics believe that in the eyes of God and Christ you are living in sin, you have broken your solemn promise before God and then tried to make another such promise. Without an annulment, you are not allowed to participate in the Eucharist, another sacrament. Annulment in the Church also isnt just a social construct but requires a declaration that the original marriage had no legal existence.
From wiki:
In the Catholic Church, a declaration of nullity, commonly called an annulment and less commonly a decree of nullity,[1] and in some cases, a Catholic divorce, is an ecclesiastical tribunal determination and judgment that a marriage was invalidly contracted or, less frequently, a judgment that ordination was invalidly conferred.
Maybe the problem isnt with the Church but with your understanding of the Churches beliefs and a Catholics obligations within it. We dont do divorce. A vow is sacred, not to be broken. It is a creeping social perversion and death cult tampering that has led this country to the idea that marriage is disposable. To God and Christ it is not.
That said the Church hierarchy is full of demon worshipping baby eaters who have allowed our clergy to be infiltrated by the same. Bergoglio is a fraud. The anti pope. A construct of the black nobility, just as many Popes before him have been. This has been a long war within the Church. The laity are the ones who suffer.
Archbishop Vigano is a true leader in Christ. There are still men and women of Christ in the Church. My Bishop and my Pastor are both such men.
All of the Christian denominations have thier problems. Those that you mentioned all allow tranny pastors and bishops. All of their charitable institutions, Catholics included, are involved in the human trafficking at our southern border. It is my sincere hope that all these faiths are able to be cleansed of the death cult just as our political, academic, business and media are. I pray for this everyday.
All of that said, I hope you find peace and that your faith continues to lead you towards Christ.
I know this. When I was young, I didn't realize it applied to times before we knew the church. It all hinged on whether we were baptized. Years later I found that the Catholic church didn't recognize mormon baptisms, so we might have swung one annulment. And I know a lot of divorced Catholics.
I had to get an annulment when young because when one partner decides "no kids," that's against the whole marriage purpose. Didn't cost anything, though, so I wonder what that diocese was doing to you. Meantime, do see if you can come in, even if only to support Archbishop Viganò!
