Joe Kennedy II's annulment of his first marriage was reversed 11

the deal with Catholics and divorce? Jews have had divorce no
problem since the religion began as far as I can tell. Granted it
hasn't always been equitable between genders and there has to be
legitimate reasons, but it's better than it being completely
forbidden. Is it because if a divorced person remarries they are no
longer a virgin and therefore somehow sinful? Is it a sin to realize
after the fact that you married the wrong person or that you simply
grew apart? Annulment says the marriage was flawed from the
beginning. If you get divorced after 10 or 15 years that probably
wasn't the case. I apologize for my naivete, but I truly don't get
it. I guess because my religion's take is so totally different.
Jews are like, so you had sex with someone else before you met me.
That's cool, no problem. You filled out the official paperwork to
end it, that's all that matters.
This is serious stuff--if you get a divorce but not an annulment in
Catholicism and you remarry you are basically committing bigamy
apparently. No sacraments, no communion, etc. Can someone please
enlighten me as to the underlying reason for this? Thank you.
