All these testify to their epicurean tastes and have earned them the sobriquet of 'the snob'.

In the case of the Catholic Church, annulment does not mean the same thing as divorce. Some accuse the Catholic Church of hypocrisy for preaching that all marriages are permanent but providing the means of annulment.
