Experts Can Be Wrong

Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, is making news because he knows that so-called expert opinions can be biased or based on insufficient evidence. Do Catholic diocesan annulment tribunals also know this?
Thomas wrote, “In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct.” Evidence supporting the expert opinion is “of ‘very low certainty,’ ‘insufficient,’ and ‘inconclusive’” (source, re. support TN’s limits against mutilating surgery on youth).
One participant in Mary’s Advocates email group offers her view of what is really going on in annulment Tribunals:
By Debbie Nuzzo (guest blogger)
Psychology as a practice has been taken over by demons and for many years. Am I supposed to believe that my very capable and successful husband couldn’t understand or didn’t have the capability to posit valid consent on the altar when our marriage was just fine until the “other” woman came along.
Tribunals and judges are entrenched in all the psycho babble which to me is really a form of brain washing and demonic.
Again, I am reminded of that quote from St. Thomas Aquinas who said even a young person who has a tutor understands what marriage is.
If you remember from much earlier, the DSM manual was just an 8-page pamphlet when it first came out. Now it is 1142 pages. “Experts” will say that they keep uncovering more psychological ailments. No. It’s truly Satan and his gang having fun.
Most canon lawyers are priests who have the God-given power to free people from demonic infestation, but even they seem not to believe in the (evil) spirit world.
The empty-headed psychiatrists, school faculty, and many doctors talk about trans kids and want to help them change from one gender to the other. Mad doctors brutalize young kids and do just that. Did they not learn biology in grammar through high schools and into medical school? It’s the same with homosexuality or the abcdefgh-idiot people. They are infested with demons. This is all spiritual and from hell.
THIS is why there is no one to help except God. Only God. Why prayer can be more powerful than action because you put the reins in God’s Hand Who knows the way. Prayer is action too.
In my work upholding marriage against no-fault divorce, I regularly talk to annulment defendants who believe their marriages are valid. The popular reason which U.S. tribunals use to find marriages invalid is the psychological grounds “grave lack of discretion of judgement.” Diocesan tribunals hire psychological experts who give the opinion that a spouse was simply incapable of consenting to marriage because the person suffered a psychological anomaly.
See the Canon Law: Dignitas Connubii: “[I]n causes of defectus discretionis iudicii, he [the Tribunal Judge] is to ask what was the effect of the anomaly on the critical and elective faculty for making serious decisions, particularly in freely choosing a state in life” (art. 209 §2, 2°).
