Even the title of the piece is problematic. It asks--seemingly rhetorically--whether there is any Scriptural basis for annulments, which is to ask whether there is any Scriptural basis for the Church that has always recognized the reality of sacramental invalidity as a possibility, regarding not only Matrimony but other sacraments as well.

Is everybody who claims to be baptized actually baptized? Then why go through the examinations called for when a person wishes to enter the Catholic Church?
In fact, as we should know and prayerfully recall, having just observed the feast of Saint Raymond of Penafort, Catholicism has an established Code of Canon Law based on natural as well as divine positive propositions. To ask whether the 1983 version aligns sufficiently would be different from casting aspersions on canon law in general, as Father Nix has done. It is a shame to see him take the easy way out--parroting the conservative line, just like the liberals parrot theirs--especially when taking the easy way out is precisely what he sets out to denounce in the first place.
