Shattered Faith: A Woman's Struggle to Stop the Catholic Church from Annuling Her Marriage
Description
This powerful memoir recounts Sheila Rauch Kennedy's courageous fight against the Catholic Church's attempt to annul her twelve-year marriage to Congressman Joseph Kennedy. When informed that the Church sought to declare their union invalid from its inception, rendering their children illegitimate in the eyes of the Church, Kennedy refused to remain silent. She bravely chronicles her struggle to defend the sanctity of her marriage, exposing the often-hidden processes and profound impact of annulments within the Church. Through her personal experience and the stories of other women, Kennedy reveals a startling truth about the frequency and implications of annulments, challenging readers' perceptions of faith, trust, and institutional power.
