Marriage to non-Catholics was invalid until 1818 AD |
Marriage to non-Catholics was invalid until 1818 AD:
"Under the old canon law, such a Marriage (between a baptized Protestant and an infidel or unbaptized Protestant) was invalid, because of the impediment of disparity of worship. Under the new canon law - i.e., since May 19, 1818 - this impediment has been abolished so far as non-Catholics are concerned, and such a marriage would be valid. This important change in the Church's law arose from the increasing number of unbaptized Protestants, and the consequent increase of invalid Marriages among them." (The Question Box, Conway)
The Bible never changes, but Catholicism does.
