Yes it is. Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 26/06/2011 05:14:29 PM
Do you have any idea how rare those dispensations are in practice? On top of that, getting married outside the Church without the permission of the Church excommunicates you, and the marriage is not considered valid.

I went through all of this with my mother who as attempting to marry a non-Catholic in a civil ceremony.

I'm actually not opposed to this. Dragonsoul - 25/06/2011 03:48:32 PM 713 Views
Makes sense to me. Joel - 25/06/2011 04:00:07 PM 942 Views
I'm not sure why there was even any need for such explicit protection. Legolas - 25/06/2011 04:04:47 PM 704 Views
There are two reasons, depending on ones position on the issue. Joel - 25/06/2011 06:04:27 PM 753 Views
Meh, you never know. Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 12:58:37 AM 852 Views

That's patently wrong in that Orthodox weddings are explicitly recognized by the Church. Tom - 26/06/2011 02:42:00 PM 735 Views
Yeah okay... Dragonsoul - 26/06/2011 05:16:05 PM 766 Views
They are outside of the authority of Rome, and have, on occasion, excommunicated Popes. Dannymac - 27/06/2011 05:03:31 PM 737 Views
Are you sure about this? Camilla - 30/06/2011 04:47:57 PM 640 Views
Dragonsoul is wrong Roland00 - 01/07/2011 09:21:43 AM 786 Views
Glad to hear it. *NM* Legolas - 25/06/2011 04:05:15 PM 287 Views

Good luck telling that to the deeply religious right. Great Lord of Chaos - 26/06/2011 03:20:04 AM 700 Views
I am a deeply religious member of the right, and I tell them that all the time *NM* Isaac - 26/06/2011 03:30:14 AM 305 Views

After a number of years of gay marriage Helene - 26/06/2011 06:57:07 AM 676 Views
That's more or less true of virtually everything, not a great example Isaac - 26/06/2011 07:09:03 AM 710 Views
People shouldn't turn their own religion and/or opinion into law Helene - 28/06/2011 07:33:48 PM 684 Views
I don't recall mentioning religion beyond confirming that I was religious Isaac - 28/06/2011 08:22:51 PM 751 Views
I admit I wasn't replying to you directly Helene - 29/06/2011 07:20:10 AM 698 Views
I think you should give this subject a bit more thought Isaac - 29/06/2011 02:16:04 PM 747 Views
I'll address the bulk of this later Helene - 29/06/2011 07:58:48 PM 625 Views
Believing things without strong supporting evidence is not rational. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/06/2011 12:11:33 AM 834 Views
Requiring different degrees of proof for things isn't particularly rational Isaac - 30/06/2011 01:14:44 PM 897 Views

We're gonna have to pick this up another time Isaac - 01/07/2011 04:37:25 AM 724 Views
No, I used the word irrational to mean that it's not rational. Helene - 30/06/2011 09:12:19 PM 738 Views

My expectations are guided by psychology and history. Dreaded Anomaly - 28/06/2011 07:08:06 PM 791 Views
That's good to know, most of us do that, though we usually just call it common sense and experience Isaac - 28/06/2011 08:55:23 PM 821 Views
No, most people don't do that. Reasoning from cognitive biases and anecdotes is much more common. Dreaded Anomaly - 30/06/2011 12:18:40 AM 726 Views
Perhaps, you seem to be claiming not do that yourself though Isaac - 30/06/2011 01:40:57 PM 828 Views
