The “formal judicial process” is a legal process in the Catholic Church governed by the Code of Canon Law. It has no civil effects within the United States, since its sole purpose is to determine whether a person is considered free to enter into marriage in the Catholic Church. It does not affect a person’s relationship to civil society, or to any other organization other than the Catholic Church.
