“Wherefore, since outside the Catholic Church there is nothing perfect, nothing undefiled, the Apostle declaring that “all that is not of faith is sin” (Romans 14:23), we are in no way likened with those who are divided from the unity of the Body of Christ; we are joined in no communion.” Pope St. Leo the Great
 
True, they do have valid sacraments, but they aren’t licit.

I’ve never heard of couples doing that before. That’s interesting.
 
I know. What I was asking was if there was something like convalidation that this person had to go through. I’m not familiar with this concept of being able to marry in the Orthodox Church.

No. You may not be aware of this, but there has been a lot of ecumenical work done since
MORTALIUM ANIMOS was published in 1928.

Praying with non-Catholics does not equate to failing to foster unity in the return of all to the one true Church. Protestants stand in the tradition of Apollos.

Praying with non-Catholics does not equate to accepting their doctrines, or participating in their “communion”. It also does not make Catholics “like” them. Honestly, you seem to think that some sort of contagion will occur!

I see that you are taking your defenses from documents from the last century, and some older than 100 years. I would like to see you make a defense from the current catechism. Or do you reject the current catechism as valid?

You might want to consider some more recent history.

I am not sure @semper_catholicus considers these valid documents.

“If any ecclesiastic or layman shall go into the synagogue of the Jews or to the meeting-houses of the heretics to join in prayer with them, let them be deposed and deprived of communion. If any bishop or priest or deacon shall join in prayer with heretics, let him be suspended from communion.” II Council of Constantinople
 
Dangit. I JUST GOT HERE! 😆😆😆

(Lasted longer than I thought. Sheesh. You guys are rough.)

Just stop, please. And read your CCC.
 
Not everything the Pope does is good or infallible. It is possible for the Pope to be in error.

Ok, I am going to take this to mean that you do not accept Vatican II, the current Catechism, and possibly none of the Popes since Vat. 2

This statement was made prior to the Protestant Reformation. Since that time, the Church has had to learn to provide pastoral guidance to the faithful with regard to those who do not meet the criteria used at the II Council of Constantople to define “heretics” .

But your responses lead me to wonder what brings you here to CAF, since the site is obviously a ministry which espouses an era of the Church that you do not?
 
Man, you’re brutal. 🤣🤣

And a stalker.

(I’m laughing, btw.)

I don’t appreciate having my father branded a heretic. Go read your CCC as advised by several.
 
You don’t accept a statement from Constantinople II? People on CAF are always insisting that I MUST adhere to ALL of Vatican II all the time. Interesting.
 
No, I don’t, mostly because it’s not in my CCC, and wasn’t in the one prior to Vatican II. My father was never told he couldn’t marry my mother by any Catholic priest - who married them.

He was told it would likely not be easy - but never “you can’t do this and remain Catholic” or “do this and you’re a heretic”. Simply not the case.

One of the precepts of the Church was that you observe the laws of the Church regarding marriage. Depending on who you ask, that may or may not be a precept of the Church anymore.

Which he did.

I am married to an Anglican. That has not barred me from conversion, and he is not required to convert, nor was I required to do anything other than show I have not been married before. We are both baptized and were married by a Methodist minister in the Methodist church. No lack of form, either.

So what’s your point?
