I am not sure what you are refering to by "'seath do you part' clause".
maybe you can be more clear about what you are talking about.
I don't know that Catholics in general do that. I can't think of any catholic I know that would give him permission to dismiss you or his children. That seems like a way to twist his own thinking, so that he doesn't have to be a responsible father. It doesn't matter what a man or woman says he or she believes that kind of denial is only an excuse to shirk responsibility and has nothing to do with Catholism as far as I know. You don't have to be a Catholic to pretend you don't have children or a previous marriage, my ex does that very well without stepping one foot into a church at all.
Before you condemn an entire religion make sure you talk to a priest about this as I am not a Catholic, nor do I claim to know much about annulment or divorce from that perpective. Bill might have an idea. Sorry about the confusion, write me directly if you want to.
