I am seeking a list of impediments to marriage in the eyes of the catholic church. Please give me citations to the comments you leave me, because I am just learning the catholic faith now in the initial stage.
Keep in mind that the code of canon law in effect when this article was written is the 1917 code. We are now under the 1983 code, which tee_eff_em linked to.An (overly) thourough article on marriage impediments:
newadvent.org/cathen/07695a.htm
which is fairly dense but, as I know your handle is a misnomer, I’m betting you’ll be fine.
I didn’t even think of that. You may want to pay more attention to tee’s link than mine, notsmart.It’s a good article, but no longer entirely accurate due to the code changes.
Actually, according to the CA version of the old Catholic Encyclopedia, the article dates from 1913, before the numerous canons on all manner of subjects were first codified in 1917.Keep in mind that the code of canon law in effect when this article was written is the 1917 code. We are now under the 1983 code, which tee_eff_em linked to.
You can look in The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Also, if you mentioned which impediments you were speaking about, I could have helped you.
Since your intentions are getting married, why not just ask the priest and he will let you know if you have any impediments.
Again, I could have quoted to you, but you did not mention any specifics.
If I can assist you, please email me.
