When is a Non-Catholic Marriage considered as Sacramental by Catholics?

[jmcrae]

My Reply says what it says. I do not fly against the Catechism Of The Catholic Church nor Official Magisterial Ecclesial Teachings, for both are comprised of 2,000 years of antholoy.

What is “antholoy”?

I meant that the Church is the true home for this Sacrament.

If that’s all you meant, then it’s what you should have plainly said, instead of making it seem like non-Catholics cannot be validly married, when the Church clearly teaches that of course they can, and usually are.

The word was a letter mising from “anthology.” I’m sure you could have figured that out if you truthfully wanted to. What I said that you felt the need to reherse was what I meant as, yes, I said, but not as lightly as it may have been taken. To carry on further in this thoroughly exhausted topic, some ecclesial instruction from Priests and Religious Life tends to be weak at times. But say Protestant unions, taken for instance, should not be seen as Sacramental.

The Church sees them as Sacramental, if both parties are baptized, and neither of them is Catholic (and thus, bound to follow Catholic law). We have neither the right nor the authority to contradict the Church’s teachings.

I thought that’s the word you might have been using, but it doesn’t fit with what I thought you were trying to say.

An anthology is a collected set of fictional works under a single set of covers, as in “An Anthology of Short Stories, by Isaac Asimov.”

So I am still confused about what you were driving at.
