Getting married while in mortal sin

[Tarpeian_Rock]

Reconciliation and Baptism are Sacraments of the Dead, which is why they can be worthily received by someone not in sanctifying grace, given that they are by design intended to infuse or revive sanctifying grace where it was nonexistent or lost. To a degree, and only under certain circumstances, Anointing of the Sick can also serve as a Sacrament of the Dead, but it is ordinarily a Sacrament of the Living, so if a person still has possession of his faculties, he first confesses before he is anointed.

Sadly, I’m seeing that, and it’s a damning indictment on the state of catechesis these days. It’s not your fault, but rather, those to whom it’s been entrusted.

I have never encountered the term “Sacrament of the Dead” before. Is that used In any Church document that you know of?

If only one of the couple were baptized (disparity of cult) then the marriage would not be a sacrament so there would be no sacrilege, as there could be for a sacramental marriage.

As mentioned, both are Catholic, so obviously both were baptized.

Of course. I posted the non-sacramental to show the difference between sacramental with regard to sacriledge.
