So, if you are very religious, bear this in mind.
It is probably the Catholic Church's Matrimonial Tribunal that has to release a certificate after investigating the white guy's divorce.
When I first made enquiries, here in Wales, the priest was adamant that I had to have it to be able to re-marry in Church.
It would have taken six-12 months for the investigation and they would have expected a "substantial donation"
