“Heresies” introduced by those who sit upon the Chair of Peter. Which means you’re coming close to becoming what you hate.

The Church has always taught it is acceptable to attend the funeral services and weddings of our close friends, relatives, and even public officials. Active participation though, in a non-Catholic wedding is forbidden, i.e. acting as a best-man or bridesmaid.

No more than one at a time, unless they’re in the same place at the same time. [Aristotle, Declaration on corporeal unity and temporal indivisibility 3, 18]
Not if your wife passes first, except in spirit. [Aquinas, On the temporality of life on earth and the separation of body and soul after death 4, 17]

I don’t understand the answers to those questions.

St. Thomas Aquinas** (Summa Theologica)

Galatians 1:8*
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.”

They were said in jest, referring to the metaphysical properties of matter and spirit.

So now your going assume the Protestant practice of Scriptural dichotomy?

I love Aquinas, but until he wears a fun looking hat and drives a cool car he’s not infallible.
Scripture is great, especially when it says to hold onto what you are taught from those in authority, and how we should respect religious leaders.

How about the Catholic practice of following the Vicar of Christ on earth?
Scripture even goes so far as to tell us how much authority the Pope has: whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose will be loosed in heaven.

Maybe you are. Not having seen it, nor heard anything about it, I can’t comment on the cleanliness of your swimming hole.Oh. I thought I was missing something deep.

Derek, this is heading around in circles at this point. You refuse to acknowledge that Vatican II is a legitimate and binding Council, and you also think my wife should not attend her mother’s funeral. You also think that a Catholic can’t attend the funeral of their non-Catholic spouse. You also think that a Catholic can’t marry a Protestant.
The Church does say otherwise on these things. Like in Canon Law, I’ll take what they’re saying now, thanks.

So you are practicing Scriptural dichotomy. I follow the Catholic practice of adhering to Papal Infallibility, which is perfectly synchronized with everything in Scripture.

Like “honor thy father and they mother”? Well, except when they’re Protestant. Then you can disobey them and not show up to their funerals.

I think you dropped something.

You might want to put some glasses on, or re-read my post without the cloud of subjectivity in your eyes.

I don’t pit verses from Scripture against one another, so what I “dropped” is irrelevant.

I did read that, but since you reject Vatican II and the writings that took place during the last forty years I assumed you rejected that statement as well.
Really, we can say you’re capable of rejecting anything from any Pope or Council at this point. Not saying you do, but you’re capable of doing so since you have with Vatican II.
