that every marriage is presumed valid unless and until the contrary is
proven (c. 1060). There is nothing about this canon that is optional or
open to interpretation; and like all the other canons in the code, every
Roman Catholic on the planet (including parish priests!) is bound to
follow it (cf. c. 1).
What should have happened, when Daisy explained the previous
marriage situation to a priest who was helping her and her fiance get
married in the Catholic Church? First and foremost, the priest should
have explained the necessity of first obtaining an annulment of her first
marriage. Thats because in the absence of a declaration of nullity of
that marriage by a competent Tribunal, Daisy is still married in the eyes
of the Church to her first husband! Consequently, and not surprisingly,
she is unable to marry again because of the impediment of prior bond
(c. 1085.1). The next paragraph of the very same canon states that one
cannot enter another marriage, before the nullity of the previous one has
been established lawfully and with certainty (c. 1085.2). How much
clearer could the code possibly be on this point?
And yet, as we see, the priest at her parish told your niece that,
getting an annulment was a formality. The falsehood of such a
statement, and this priests blatant disregard for the official laws and
teachings of the Church regarding marriage is simply mind-boggling.
After all, canon laws are laws, not suggestions.
One occasionally encounters Catholics who wrongly believe that
parish priests have leeway in matters like this, because (so they claim)
its a more pastoral way to help laity who are faced with a potentially
difficult situation such as waiting a long time for an annulment,
before marrying again. To such persons there is only one answer:
theres nothing pastoral about giving the faithful false information,
and telling them they can do X when in fact the Church teaches that
they cant.
Daisy and her new fiance were certainly not at fault here. They
did exactly what Catholics are expected to do: they consulted their
parish priest and reasonably accepted the information he gave them as
accurate. After all, if you cant trust a priest to administer the
sacraments correctly, whom can you trust? But the undeniable fact
remains that Daisy and her new husband are, in the absence of a
declaration of nullity of Daisys first marriage, most definitely not
married so far as the Catholic Church is concerned. The priest may
very well have gone through all the required external motions to
celebrate their wedding in accord with canonical form (c. 1108.1), but
surely he was well aware that metaphysically speaking, he wasnt
marrying them at all.
What is to be done here? Firstly, Daisy has to find a responsible
and knowledgeable priest who will be able to help her with the
annulment of her first marriage. Secondly, since it appears from what
she tells us that this process was started at some point in the past,
someone must inquire as to the status of her case and ensure that it is
completed and lets hope, for Daisys sake, that the judges
eventually do indeed find that her first marriage was null and void ab
initio.
We thank God for our faithful priests, whose spiritual fatherhood
and example of fidelity, self-sacrifice and devotion is so vital to our
faith. May Gods light continue to shine through their lives and their
good works that they may grow in holiness, knowledge and
understanding of Gods Truth. Amen.
